Fighting on two fronts could be an issue for fish head an rice eaters,...
1.4 vs 1.3 billion folks for China vs India, not sure the population makes much difference on this one. The industry differences, dominate political parties, fertility rates, and caste system could all play unexpected havoc in a conflict for both sides.Not with that population they won't.
Done right, any war can be over long, long, before it's a Population attrition issue. Now that said,... all wars are about money or power, if you remove all those who want war,... before the war,... there will be no war.Not with that population they won't.

They already have plenty who want to fight their own government at home...What's even more interesting is that both sides have a large surplus of military-age males, and at least one side might be thinking that throwing a few million of them into the meat grinder would help reduce a future problem.
Sounds like a win/win to me,...Less than 10% of the Chinese are Chicom party members. The commies could end up with nukes from the front and swords and pitchforks from the rear.
If left to fend for their self's maybe,...however depending who else shows up for the game, all that may be in doubt. Never underestimate the power of money, or pay back. Pay back entry,... has changed many a "slam dunk" operation,...china would go through them like a hot knife through butter.
but if anything would start up it would be in the highlands of that disputed land.
that would make china's huge # superiority of armor a little more even.
india has a had a few skirmishes with pakisatan so there might be a battlefield knowledge gap in the beginning but we all know that china doesnt care about casualties.
it would be a air superiority battle in which india would loose pretty quick
a few months a peace will be brokered
to bad, would be nice to let china spend some money on wasteful war instead of focusing all their resources on the US for a change.
it a lot harder to fund state subsidized factories when your pouring billions into the battle field
4 Billion, is what about 500 megaton? We can stand to test that much w/o issue,... I would think.6 Billion minus 2 Billion will equal 4 Billion.
Having worked in that area, no. India has a far superior resupply capabilty. Have a look on on your favourite satellite map at the potential air and land routes. I doubt it will escalate beyond China doing its usual dog finding a hole in the fence routine. China has more air assets on paper, but Mig 19’s and 21’s ? Hmmm. The few strips they have in Tibet don’t have many hardened bunkers, and once those strips are cratered, then it’s a long haul from other bases. Ground wise, India has a way more motivated and better trained bunch of grunts, and a lot of very mobile self propelled arty.china would go through them like a hot knife through butter.

Last time Pakistan got a bit spicy in Kashmir, there was no US support, other than switching off gps in the area (yeah thanks for that....) Fortunately things have changed for the better in that regard lately.
