My paper on the India-China Border is in the Appendix at pages 16-31. Other case studies are the Korean War (1950-53), Taiwan crises (1954-55 and 1958), Cuban missile crisis(US-Soviet Union in 1962) and Sino-Soviet border conflict(1969). Since China went nuclear only in 1964, the first three only indicate evolving Chinese thinking on nuclear weapons.

The India-China experience does not square with other case studies and its conclusions because the character of threat perception is different and both India and China have declared a more restrained no-first-use policy.
