The China flex with India isn’t going too well.
So long as China “gets used to” the close passage of US Navy vessels and others in close proximity to the artificial islands in the South China Sea.
The South China Sea is NOT exclusively for the passage of Chinese vessels and airplanes alone.
There is no comparison between the military might of China and India’s. China is at least 30 years ahead. Also, the Chinese infrastructure makes Indian infrastructure look like its still in bronze age. It is a well understood fact within the Indian circles, but they are powerless at this time.
I like that India is going for the nukes to hit China anywhere.
