After Modi's hard talk with Xi in Delhi, Chinese troops pull back

[agamdilawari]

Nearly 1000 soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, who had made incursions into the Chumar region in Jammu and Kashmir, have reportedly pulled back from their positions even as India demanded a total withdrawal from its territories on Thursday.

Sources on Thursday said the PLA troops have pulled nearly 2 km back from their position. Meanwhile, the Indian Army has sent reinforcements to Chumar and is now awaiting China's response on a flag meeting it has called with the PLA.

The faceoff between the Indian and Chinese soldiers since Wednesday had dampened the bonhomie around Chinese President Xi Jingping's three-day visit to India, reminding the two countries of the problems underlying growing commercial ties.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Jinping held talks at New Delhi's Hyderabad House during which the Indian side conveyed its concerns over Chinese incursions as the two sides discussed all "substantive issues" having their bearing on the bilateral ties.

Modi and Xi first held talks in a restricted format, which was followed by a delegation level deliberation during which the two leaders also focused on cooperation in key areas of trade and investment.

"Let me assure you all these issues have been raised and issues of concern, including recent events, will continue to be discussed," Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said in response to a question about the Chumar standoff.

Modi, who hosted a private dinner for Xi in Ahmedabad, raised the issue of Chinese incursions on Wednesday night as well as Thursday morning, official sources said. The Chinese Army pushed in more troops into Chumar village along the Line of Actual Control in the wee hours on Thursday.

The Chinese side had pushed in more troops on Wednesday morning as well, the sources said, adding the number of People's Liberation Army personnel stood at nearly 1000.

Chumar, located more than 300 km northeast of Leh and bordering Himachal Pradesh, has been a flashpoint between the two sides with the Chinese Army making several attempts to end India's dominance in the area.

The stand-off in Demchok where Chinese nomads -- Rebos -- had pitched their tents is continuing. The incursion in this area is nearly 500 metres deep into Indian territory.

Meanwhile, about 20 supporters of free Tibet, mainly women, protested within a few metres of Hyderabad House in New Delhi where Modi and Xi were holding talks, waving Tibetan flags and shouting "We want justice." Police detained them after a few minutes.

Several other small pro-Tibet protests broke out across the national capital.

Speaking in Mumbai, Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama said Xi should use his visit to learn from the Indian experience of democratic rule and learn democratic practices.

"I think the Chinese president should learn some of India's experience. Democratic rule, rule of law, and free media," he said.

In a sign that Modi wanted Xi's visit to be a success, the Centre had asked the Dalai Lama, whom Beijing labels a dangerous separatist seeking an independent Tibet, to reschedule an event in the national capital so that it would not clash with the Chinese president's trip.

Nearly 1000 soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, who had made incursions into the Chumar region in Jammu and Kashmir, have reportedly pulled back from their positions even as India demanded a total withdrawal from its territories on Thursday.

make no mistake, total withdrawal stands for accepting india's 3,500-km long border which means vacating aksai chin region

while 3,500-km means aksai chin as part of india,

china says the border length is only 2000-km as china considers aksai chin as part of china. interestingly, the former indian government claimed the border to be 3,488-km long whereas the present indian government claims it is 3,500-km long and that means more lands claimed if one goes technically.

Thread title is misleading...... There was no hard talk or stand taken by indian side as per OP.... India raising concern doesn't tantamount to Hard talk ...

I think it's probably some diplomatic deal.

a few points ---

--the Chinese havent pulled back completely

-the Indian side, as per Chinese orders, had to dismantle overhead bunkers in Chumar

-Chinese forces which did scale back only did so after capturing an indian army surveillance camera - returning it after keeping it for a few days (probably got the data from it)



on a side note:

why shouldnt it give us a chuckle? its mildly entertaining

Thread title is misleading...... There was no hard talk or stand taken by indian side as per OP.... India raising concern doesn't tantamount to Hard talk ...

that's what is hilarious about your media.....they love to use big words and make tall claims, i guess more for entertainment/masala value rather than fact

i had the misfortune of watching a "newhour debate" with that hyperventilating squeaky-voiced "arnob goswami" and in it he was talking about Hafiz Saeed and Pakistan - a favourite subject for the Pakistan-enthusiasts in india. He claimed that india is playing "hardball" with Pakistan and that the pressure will force Pakistan to hand HS over to india. It's funny because HS is a free man walking around and even the Americans have given up on the whole thing - knowing the courts freed him due to zero evidence.

I bring it up because this funny looking indian emotional tv anchor goswami talks about pressure on Pakistan and how Pakistan is "side-lined" whereas the reality is that nobody cares except india and we are under no pressure from india b/c india cant apply pressure on us.

try to, but fail
