... there be the asymmetry
>> Indeed

cruise missiles going the other way have to go very extremely long distance to reach the forbidden city, whereas the taj mahal is literally a stone's throw away from everest
>> Plenty of valid and likely targets before the forbidden city is even vaguely on the horizon

china would not likely waste ballistic missiles on india, when inexpensive cruise missiles would be plenty effective, and because turning off the water should get the necessary attention should such actually be necessary
>> Turning off water would quite likely light up lots more missiles

further, as it turns out, the indian effort is an anti-ballistic missile missile, that which is meant for the simple task of knocking down a ballistic missile on predictable flight path, whereas the china iteration is a hypersonic glide vehicle, that which is naughty and manoeuvres as it closes in w/ express delivery package
>> Hitting the glider with almost anything from as far as 1/2 mile away would cause it to disintegrate due to its speed & mass

no ... war between china and india is in any case off the table, as whatever quarrel between them over no-man's land would probably be papered over w/ some trade deal, and anything else important would be solved by pakistan, a/k/a n.korea south :0)
>> I also hope so

by the looks of it, the only folks hungry for war reside in washington and moscow, as they are so busy engaged in fights all over the planet
>> I wish that were as true as you think. MIC folk think too similarly for my taste
