WI: Sino-Indian nuclear war

Everyone talks of a Indo-Pakistan nuclear war but what about India's other rival, China? They both have nukes and have territorial disputes, so a nuclear war between the two could happen.

All things been equal neither however push India in to a corner or a mistake/misunderstanding may do cause a nuclear exchange

I could see a nuclear exchange if China is backed into a corner.

There is a Sino-Soviet war that is going badly for China.

After some backroom negotiations India decides to press their claims. China uses nukes to prevent India from advancing and to send a message to the Sowjets.

Ofc this would only apply in a very desperate situation.
