Maybe India should use catapults to fling all that pooh they have on the streets over onto China. Biological warfare!
Yes,China’s more powerful...and China’s leaders are murderous psychopaths.India is a very unfortunate country...sharing a border with the two filthiest,most murderous countries on earth.
A lot of China’s military is designed to project power into the South china sea or to invade Taiwan or to fight America on the ocean, and that isn’t going to do much on the ground against India.
India will win any war they fight with China because India will be getting help from the US. I don’t mean in the sense of US troops or anything like that, but one can be certain we would be giving every bit of intel on Chinese movements and intentions ect...etc... that we can get, and good and accurate actionable intel is, in many cases the difference between who wins and who loses. In the case of India vs China, India will have the better intel and the US will see to that fact.
China has a slight edge in population with only 88 million more people.
India, China border dispute: Is China more powerful than India?
India however has 4295 tanks to China’s 3500.
New 1000+ Chinese Type 99 tanks are among the best in the world, 125mm smoothbore gun, rounds penetrate 600mm, 9M119 ATGM and long rod APFSDS rounds. Very fast 1500hp engine on 52 ton machine
India’s 366 Arjun MK2s with unarmored turret, its 120mm rifled main gun, sabot rounds with only 300 mm penetration; but it can fire on the move which the T99 cant. Slow with only 1400 HP on a 68 ton machine
The Arjun would have to hit the same spot twice to penetrate a T99
Verdict: T99 no contest winner.
I don't know about the answer to the question, but if two nations each with over one billion in population, it could really be a bloodbath unprecedented in history.

Does a panda bear piss in the woods?
What everybody ignores is that China’s average age is 40-years-old, while India’s average age is 20-years-old.
Demographics is destiny. The ChiComm apes aborted its future. China is an aging country. India is a young country.
China will get its ass kicked in a war with India for the simple reason that India can muster young people to fight, while the ChiComm apes will need to send grandpas onto the battlefield.
