Just in case China attacks India, the real benefits will be very less.

China might gain a few territories in J&K, Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. At the most it can build it's roads and railways passing through those areas. That's all. China has enough land and the population density :

If you see carefully, the 6% population part borders India. So a few acres of additional land isn't gonna be of any significance. Rather the government would have to spend more money in maintaining those new areas.

Also those bordering areas are mountainous and very cold. Very few people would like to migrate there. Also the locals don't speak Mandarin so teaching them will be an additional burden.

And by the way, China won't win that easily. India is ranked 4th in military strength and China is 3rd. 2019 Military Strength Ranking. It's not Nepal or Bhutan that it'll be easy to capture. And the rankings are out of 137 countries. The match would be like Belgium vs Brazil (football) or England vs Australia (cricket).

Also China has more to lose. An unnecessary waste of military (and nuclear maybe) weapons and some manpower for few acres of hilly chilly lands.

Also the Indian market is flooded with Chinese products, particularly electronics. Remind you that India has 1.3 billion population and every household has some Chinese product or the other. So it's definitely not a small market as some want to believe.

Here are the top 5 smartphone brands in India :

Four of them are Chinese brands and their sales are huge. In fact Xiaomi and Realme are more focused on making in India.

So it can't be denied that China earns a significant amount of money from India, which will be gone after the war.

So to gain some parts of land, China will lose much more money in total.

The government is wise enough to know that probably. So it's unlikely that they would unnecessarily attack India.
