Although massed armor engagements between India and China would certainly be precluded by significant geographical barriers, a war between the two countries is not out of the question. They've already done it once before (the Sino-Indian War, 1962).
A contemporary conflict would once again be largely a contest involving mostly mountain troops, light infantry, and special forces, but being as China is now a full-fledged global power, and India an emerging one, it would now likely involve major clashes at sea and in the air as well.
Pakistan could also become involved, presumably working with China against India. Pakistan could act as a conduit for Chinese armor, although transporting tanks from China to Pakistan, especially during wartime, would be very difficult, perhaps prohibitively so. This could also apply to Myanmar.
