For clear understanding events of day have to be linked to past

#China in past used Coercive Diplomacy as a tool in its international relations

That had worked with certain countries.

It didn't work with India

The ferocity & Volume of India's response took it off guard https://twitter.com/nitingokhale/status/1348659744785879040

One's reading is that It forced China to upscale it's initial deployment beyond its planning

This caused an imbalance in its overall force projection leading to weaknesses in other sectors

The quantum( If it really happened) under discussion constitutes roughly 3 Brigade size

One's guess is that

- Facing asymmetric force disposition in other sectors ( primarily opposite Taiwan )
&
- Confident that India won't escalate

It's rebalancing

Nothing More
