Focus on incorrect priority

The channels blaring about the BJP old guard Mr Rajnath Singh's visit to Ladakh which is supposed to enthuse the forces in the region, deafening the tumulutous sound of India crossing 1 million mark of counted and tested targets of recent species of coronaviridae. The novel virus, the new species of Corona virus named Covid 19 named consequent to it's flare in 2019, though experts had warned way back in 2009 about it's prevalence and spread of yet another SARS virus.
This year has definitely been interesting,
Personally for me I started observing that everything we can consume is Chinese.
Even after avoiding the Chinese companies I received my orders "designed in xyz country,made in China" written on the toys and gadgets, smallest to the largest of the items, cheaper or dearer, locally purchased or via eCommerce sites, whatever you want to purchase, you are going to end up giving money to an adversary posturing with hostile intent on our borders.

Those men who were carved out to be the most efficient give up their lives protecting borders, sans, an agreement done by those who only see the governance as a business. 
Isn't there something amiss in the above stories, well agreement about the borders should be done independently by those who protect them.
 Not the lines as there are exhaustive mechanisms for that on both sides, but the rules of engagement, how things can be best tackled at the ground level can only be told by those who have boots on the ground.
Now New Delhi is abuzz with rumours of rules of engagement to be changed by MoD.
Let's see how long that takes or it gets placated before we change them, then relax and happily maintain status quo.
Those crying the lungs out to Boycott China without any volition to either give or create an alternative are the same ones who are are proud of our demographic dividend since last two decades( there are only proud). I have heard the same rhetoric since I become a part of this term( demographic dividend the population which can contribute to enhancement of economy as they are able bodied and can work to build the economy, incidentally currently India has highest percentage of that). 
Now
Who has work? who will provide work and finally "will" work? Answer is in the close proximity of "none" for all the three questions or so it has been from last two decades as visible to me and has transpired through previous decades, when "Don't work, don't let anyone work, nail the bastard who works, " policy was born through systematic disregard and apathy for talent and hard work in all walks of all the businesses in our country.
.
So how can be defeated thy neighbour who is focussed, willing to work, accustomed to work and incessantly working to work more under whatever the motivation.
We can leave the criticism for later time about their communist, brutal, frightening, fear mongering, iron fist, expansionist policies but right now the impact assessment says that they will never back down because they aren't accustomed to sit back relax and criticize one thing or other while spitting the pan fluid on the walls of public buildings. (or any for that matter).
They have a habit to work around the clock, around the problem until they reach a solution and then work some more to create a problem for someone else.
So what's the way forward,
 America is also in the dire straits but the power Giant that it considers itself, it will never acknowledge the above fact and it will have to be coerced to be the bully that it is. 
A limited or a full-scale war isn't desirable but if we lose and slackening population has to survive this with our heads high we have to use those collective brains on those heads powered by purushartha which is still keeps this country going to make this aggressive bulldog of a phoren country unleash it's full wrath on our neighbour. 
Hail our very outdoorsy, mobile  and thoroughly reconnaissance loving intelligence agencies to create a scenario soon.
