China doesn't want to fight India not just for the nukes or that they can easily bleed more due to population sizes but for one word: Gurkas
Them being incorporated into the British empire was seen as the biggest boon ever, the Japanese, Argentinians and Taliban STILL have nightmares going against them. They are most ruthless and savage motherfuckers available and India has at least 4 regiments of them.
Them being let loose on China would probably decrease their population by half quick..
Funny you mention the Gurkhas. One of those regiments is stationed in the Himalayas in the disputed territory. And while most of the skirmishes between the Indians Regulars and the PLA have been fairly even (with a minor tilt toward India), the handful of times the Gurkhas have fought has seen them absolutely slaughter the Chinese. The last fight, 2 Gurkhas were killed. Meanwhile, the Chinese refuse to say, but rumors from Chinese dissidents says their death toll was 40+. And this was with just sticks and rocks (no guns to try and keep the escalation away).
