Experts have attributed the war to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. He says that China is afraid about its Kashagar Energy Plant, whose route passes through eastern Ladakh.

Why is the dragon afraid of India?
Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) has said this in the report ‘War Clouds over the Indian Horizon’.

India-China war may happen in 2025-2030?
Sameer Tata wrote in the report, ‘China fears that the only way to attack the Kashgar Energy Plant located in its western province of Xinjiang is through eastern Ladakh. If any enemy attacks the Kashgar energy plant and captures it, then China’s energy system will come to a standstill. The report said that the Kashgar plant is connected to Iran’s important oil and gas pipeline. This pipeline passes through Pakistan under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.
The opinion of the former Indian Army Chief is different regarding the war. Talking to Eurasian Times, he said that after the Galwan conflict in 2020, China knows that the new India is not going to back down. However, he agrees with the argument that Ladakh and Karakoram Pass are part of China’s long-term strategy as these parts are important for the CPEC project.
He said that if China feels that India is reaching such a situation that it can cut off the CPEC route in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir or Tibet, then it can be a big change like 1962. In the war between India and China in 1962, India lost many of its soldiers and land.
