Of course if China did retaliate, America might counter-retaliate.

Wouldn't a conventional attack via Cold Start also invite retaliation from China?
No, because that would require China to declare war on India.
So if Pakistan was defeated conventionally, China would not intervene? Is that why Cold Start is India's best option?
A small military operation is not a defeat for Pakistan.

It's a little obscure, but I think the issue is that it would take
several days for Pakistan to decide whether to use nuclear weapons in
response to a small, quick military action using conventional weapons.

As the analysts I quoted point out, it's a highly risky strategy,
based on assumptions that may not be true.

The objective would be to meet the military objective within a week, before Pakistan would have time to launch nuclear retaliatory strikes.

A week to launch nuclear retaliatory strikes!? I could see an hour, but why would it take Pakistan over a week to launch missiles or bombers?
