There is seemingly enhanced rhetoric on Arunachal Pradesh. Four references in one month from Beijing and now the renaming again.
Cannot be without some distinct motivation and aim!

It mustn't surprise us if the US just gave an ambiguous signal which could be misconstrued as an assent to the Chinese to start a small skirmish that is a military set back to India just before the elections to dent PM's strongman image?

Who controls any such event to be ‘small’ skirmish? The threat of escalation always exists and Wars are messy, once started run their own course! Even an elongated one! Even the end state cannot be guaranteed!

More precarious Xi Jinping's position gets on internal issues like economic slowdown & murmurs of dissent in PLA against purges the more desperate he may get to employ PLA gainfully & divert domestic attention!
India could give a disproportionate response to resolve Tibet issue?
