NEW DELHI : While efforts are underway to resolve the ongoing border dispute, India has rejected the Chinese suggestion to disengage equidistantly from the Finger area in Eastern Ladakh.

After the diplomatic level talks, the two sides are also working to hold more military-level talks to resolve the boundary issue which has been going on for more than three months now.
Meanwhile, the top military commanders have also told their field commanders to be fully prepared for any eventuality or action on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) even as the Indian side is preparing for a long haul on the border.

"The Chinese side had made a suggestion that both India and China should go back equidistantly from the Finger-4 area. The suggestion is not acceptable to the Indian side," Sources told ANI.


At the moment, the Chinese are around the Finger 5 near the Pangong Tso lake and have deployed a large number of troops and equipment at the over five-kilometer stretch from Finger 5 to Finger 8 beyond which the Chinese bases existed before April-May timeframe.

The Indian side is clear that the Chinese should disengage completely from the Finger area and move back to their original location.

Sources said accepting the Chinese side's suggestion was out of the question. India is also raising the point about Chinese violating the agreements between both sides during 1993-1996 which prohibits construction of any kind at locations where the perception of the LAC differed between both sides.

The Chinese have done construction in the Finger area also where Indian territory extends up to Finger 8.


The Indian side is firm that the Chinese should first disengage and then the two sides can discuss de-escalation from Eastern Ladakh and Depsang Plains and Daulat Beg Oldi areas.

India and China have been engaged in a dispute since April-May timeframe when the Chinese moved troops along the Eastern Ladakh sector transgressing in multiple areas like Finger, Galwan valley, Gogra heights, and Hot Springs.

India is in no position to reject anything. They will have to come to accept China's terms, as she has done elsewhere on the LAC.

Lol. Took off your ignorant specs, and see the reality. India is not Pakistan.
China has to vacate buffer zone, by hook or crook. Otherwise winter is gonna be romantic this year for Chinese.

So what are you gonna do if we don't budge? Keeps on bragging?

India is not Pakistan.

You are right. Pakistan smacked India dead in the face when it tried to do something really stupid in 26 Feb 2019 within 24hrs of the event, where the Indian population is 7x that of Pakistans, and the economy is 10x larger ...

India has had large swathes of land "it" considered as its own, taken form it, and all it did was bend over for a repeat. That too where the population between India and china is equal, and where the chinese economy is only 4-5 times larger.. and 10.

So you are right, Pakistan is no India ... Pakistan is better!

I guess 22 Indian soldiers killed are not enough. The fool has no limit. Indian are seeking their doom.

Indian logistic are no good. A long holdout is worst for India than China. But I guess Indian top leadership spare no sympathy for their lower rank soldiers and their hardship.

Dude Indian soldiers will freeze to death over the Winter thanks to terrible logistics (which was evident at Galwan) ... come spring, the Chinese will find the Indians encased in giant ice cubes and post pictures to Weibo

Why don't you share your casualty numbers if you have the guts to doom us.

 

[Figaro]

Giving out an obviously understated casualty number is worse than even no casualty number . Numerous sources have already pointed to 50+ Indian soldiers killed ... and yet your military still maintains 20. So it looks like some soldiers were "martyred" while others weren't even mentioned at all lmao. Must suck to be them.

Lol or it could be that they lost more than 43 soldiers as was initially quoted and are embarrassed to admit it. The high and mighty Chinese army that brags about such superior military hardware constantly is somehow not bragging about their super solider army's low casualties? Paint me surprised!

Chinese have bitten off more than they can handle here. They never imagined an economic sanction and disengagement of the magnitude India has been willing to dole out. Market size and growth in India meant $$ for Chinese industries to tap into, and now it's all gone.

They never imagined such wholesale move towards the quad and US, all over the small strip on inhabitable land. They never believed a complete change in attitude in Inda towards China.

This will go down in history on how not to ultimately make an enemy of your neighbor. Worse yet, Indian military action is coming, only a matter of time. Every language, every move, says so. We have seen Chinese acting as cowards in not recognizing their own soldier's sacrifices and close to 40 deaths, so their ordinary citizens will continue to be fed the same brainwashing.

Bottom line: The US supports you, India! 100% percent.

China are in full control here. They have already conquered and annexed over 38,000 square kms of indian territory:

The most important question here is, what is india going to do about it.

Very well put! They underestimated Indian response and have now lost a huge market over a small strip of land where no one lives. This pushed India closer into the arms of West and US.
