How to counter China's aggression against India?

Chinese aggression against India: China learns electronically each time India reacts to border threats. India should never reveal the actual war response or escalation ladder to China.  Once India reacts, next time China will come back fully prepared. So, Indian response should be different each time and NEVER the same as actual war response. It's like a card game.
