Crunching Tiger, feared Dragon 3

The Indian weapon systems mostly updated to latest or near latest standards fare better then there Chinese rivals. China doesn't posses an active aircraft carrier but India is already operating 2 carriers with the latest one INS Vikramaditya being the flagship of the Indian fleet. The biggest threat from the Indian flagship to whole of Chinese fleet as well as their intended dominance in south china sea is the Vikramaditya's 45 MIG-45K air dominance fighters. These fighters are brand new all inducted and are of the 4.5 generation category. The other two potent naval fighters in the world are the french naval Rafael and US navy F-18 Super Hornet. Chinese still testing there carrier variant fighters which obviously are copy of Su-33 which are already obsolete even in the Russian fleet and now being replaced by MIG-29K. Then Indian naval power also has worlds most lethal stealth surface ships, mostly all are made in India. The Delhi class and Kolkata class destroyers are among the most lethal warships of recent times and fully updated. Indian naval assets are also integrated with indigenous missiles, specially the Brahmos. Nothing in the world is even close to it. Recent induction of Akula class nuclear submarines and ongoing induction of several Arihant class nuclear attack submarines also adds further teeth in the already powerful navy. It is said the Chinese navy has more nuclear submarine and its true to quite an extent but there main problem is most of them are old soviet era copied version. Which are noisy and lack proper modern day features. Well to hunt them down we have the Boeing P-8i Neptune. These submarine hunters are most fierce submarine killers and only the US navy Poseidon can compete it, both are essentially same aircraft with different avionics. The Indian air force would probably be the biggest force multiplier assets of the Indian offencive against Chinese. The Su-30MKI is the most potent 4.5+ generation fighter in the world which features even the Russian sukhois lack. None of the Chinese fighters comes close. Then the upgraded MIG-29s which are now of SMT standard. They also posses 4.5 Generation capabilities. The MIG-21 Bison, an old but highly updated fighter which has created problems for even the mighty F-16s and F-15s due to its small size and speed now coupled with modern avionics. The LCA Tejas, Rafael, Jaguars, Mirage. They all form a credible ground attack and area dominance force against a force of numbers and lack of quality. Similarly the army has its own modern beasts in MBT Arjun, T-90 Bhisma, Bhim, Pinaca, Smerch, Rohini radars,etc. The most important here is the war experienced Indian infantry units.
