Not sure of the politics involved, but it is my belief that true leadership shouldn't care about their future career. If the PM believes his actions are in his countries best interest, then that is the right decision to make. After all, the current rules of engagement were designed to prevent blood shed. This clearly is not working, and China is going to take full advantage of this.

Authorizing the use of live ammunition behind closed doors is not in the country's best interest.

The current rule of engagement is still playing a vital role by isolating the violence to tiny skirmishes in the middle of no where.

China and India are both in possession of nuclear weapons, neither side wins if a serious war happens between the two.

The rules of engagement should be collaboratively revised so each subsequent border dispute that result in serious injuries trend downwards.

Right. But leaking the fact that you have authorized the use of force may cause the Chinese forces apprehension. Either way, military incursions over borders should be met with force, and not by feeding your troops into a meat grinder of hostile forces using bladed and blunt weapons.
