denied any scuffle.
According to the intelligence report accessed by India Today, a mild scuffle reportedly took place between the Indian Army and Peoples' Liberation Army personnel after the Indian Army stopped their Chinese counterpart approximately 650 meters East of Shankar Tikri.

Soon after, the PLA officers gifted chocolates to the Indian Army to make up for the supposed transgression attempt.

GOVERNMENT DENIES

However, Kiren Rijiju, the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, denied any tussle. He was upset over the fact that questions were being raised about the position of the Indian Army. He said "there was no firing, no intrusion and no transgression by the Chinese PLA forces into our territory."

He also added that some differences had cropped up and they were resolved peacefully.

CHOCOLATE DIPLOMACY

Subsequently after the reported scuffle, four PLA officers and an interpreter met the Commanding Officer at Brass Wall (approximately 400 metres north-east of Shankar Tikri) on the Line of Actual Control and presented him two chocolate packets. One gift packet was also presented to the in-charge of the Yanki post.

EARLIER TRANSGRESSION BY THE PLA

This incident comes only two days after the top defense officials confirmed a transgression by the Chinese Army in Arunachal Pradesh's Yangtse region. On June 9, nearly 250 soldiers of the PLA divided into four groups transgressed into Arunachal's East Kameng district.



The Yangtse transgression was around the same time that India's bid for the membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) was blocked by Beijing.



YANGTSE: A DISPUTED POCKET

Yangtse is identified as a disputed pocket between the two countries and is under possession of India. PLA patrols in area are unusually big as compared to other areas. The first transgression was reported in 2007. The area has witnessed consistent transgressions since 2011.

This is usual business. Neither side either dare or intend to use force or fire a bullet.

As long as bullet is not fired its fine. Peace on Eastern front is needed to be absolute.

Nope it is not usual business it is a well calculated move. Chinese idea is to always to keep India surprised. They keep blowing hot & cold to create confusion. The question we need to ask is why did they try do it first? they do know where LAC is. Probably India should take a leaf out of chinese book and give them a surprise.

Remember the chinese idea according to art of war is win without fighting a war ie without firing a bullet. They are just building up their infra and force level. In the process they probe enemy strength to re-calibrate their force strength.

And how are we measuring up!!?? Are u suggesting that Chuna is actually contemplating a conflict with India in the near future? Otherwise why would the test waters in the first place or is it that they are perceiving us as a threat and hence keeping a watch? Pls clarify. Cause if its the first one I must say they have a flawed foreign policy.
