Based on different experiences and concepts, we have completely different classification standards.![]()

You can refer to this page, this war had the largest tank to tank battle post WW2.
In 1971 too there were a lot of engagements on both the sides.

I don't know how you according to your logic these weren't "large scale wars".
Air force, navy and army all 3 wings bought on both sides in this war.
Comparatively Indo China war never devolved in a full scale war, it was just a skirmish.
Sino-Vietnamese War.
Whether it is the intensity of the war, the scale of the war, or the duration of the war, it exceeds any modern war in Indian history. (Vietnam's terrain is not suitable for armored vehicle combat, so their number of participants is less than the Indo-Pakistani War)
However, in China's evaluation, it is still a general war and has not reached the "battle-level war".
In the entire Korean War, only a few battles reached the "battle-level war".
During the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War, only a few battles reached the "battle-level war".
The 1965 Indo-Pakistani War. The intensity of the war between the two sides, the actual combat force, the amount of weapons and ammunition consumed, etc., cannot reach our "battle-level war". (Although the total number of participants in the war on both sides is close to 1 million, the total number of deaths on both sides is only a few thousand, indicating that the intensity of the battle is very low)
In the Chinese context, there are relatively clear distinctions in the classification of wars. Their English translations may be somewhat different.
