The Chinese held their ground (seized pre-war) in the western Aksai Chin border and unilaterally broke off the attack and pulled back from Northeast India to the McMahon line.

How much further were their forces capable of going?

Could they have stayed in occupation of the Northeast Frontier Agency (NEFA), currently known as Arunachal Pradesh and fortified it indefinitely?

Could the Chinese have projected power deeply into Assam in the east or Kashmir in the west?

What would superpower reactions have been, in addition to Indian reactions, if they attempted this?
