DAVID C. MULFORD AND JOHN RIVERA-DIRKS note:
Although it is in no one’s interest for China and India to go to war, it is in the global interest for India to be capable of defending itself against Chinese provocations and maintain the balance of power in the region. With India having modern military deterrents, China is less likely to be an aggressor to India or to India’s weaker neighbors like Bhutan and Nepal, who could easily suffer the same fate as Tibet.
