Recent Sino-Indian border conflict

[Figaro]

It is very ironic to see China do a repeat of the Doklam incident in 2017 ... except with roles reversed this time.

Several thousand soldiers with a Chinese PLA Air Force airborne brigade took just a few hours to maneuver from Central China’s Hubei Province to northwestern, high-altitude region amid China-India border tensions. https://globaltimes.cn/content/1190806.shtml…

Simple solution: India relinquishes its claim on Aksai Chin, and China relinquishes its claim on Arunachal Pradesh.

Lol China offered this in 1962 when they were in a much weaker strategic position and the Indians rejected it multiple times. Now China is in a much stronger position and now India is offering the same deal. Why should China accept it?

That's what ZhouEnlai proposed to India and India responded with the forward policy.


A border between two great civilizations shouldn't be named after a British general !

I'm sure the Indians really regret not taking Zhou Enlai's deal. It would've saved them from the humiliation of the 1962 war, not to mention making a permanent enemy of a much stronger northern neighbor. Nehru's decision to reject this proposition will go down as one of the worst foreign policy blunders in modern history.

India and China have agreed to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution to the boundary question through negotiations, the government informed Rajya Sabha on Thursday.

In a written response to a question in Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said China disputes the international boundary between India and China.

"Indian territory under the occupation of China in Jammu & Kashmir is approximately 38,000 sq. km. In addition, under the so-called China-Pakistan 'boundary agreement' signed between China and Pakistan on 2 March 1963, Pakistan illegally ceded 5,180 sq. km of Indian territory in Azad Kashmir to China," the minister said.



India and China have each appointed a Special Representative to explore the framework for a boundary settlement from the political perspective of the overall bilateral relationship, he said.

The two sides have agreed to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution to the boundary question through dialogue and negotiations, he said

haha, typical Indian media self concocted story. Has China confirmed this statement any where?

No settlement, fight it out and may the stronger country win and seize more lands!

By dominating the heights, Indian infantry forces are in a position to engage Chinese armour and troop formations with anti-tank guided missiles, rockets and other weapons.

The Indian Army has reinforced its own tank formations in the area.


New Delhi:
There has been a major force build-up of Chinese tanks and infantry forces in the South Pangong region of Eastern Ladakh after the Indian Army seized the initiative and gained control of several key heights in the area on August 30. Given the range of their guns, Chinese artillery would be located in 'depth' positions, more than twenty kilometres away from the Line of Actual Control.

Source have indicated to NDTV that the presence of additional tank forces has been detected not too far from Chinese positions in Moldo in South Pangong. However, the movement of Chinese heavy weaponry continues to be well sighted by the Indian Army ''which dominates the heights from Thakung to beyond Mukpari.'' This includes control of both shoulders of the crucial Spanggur Gap, a high-altitude pass that spans more than two kilometres in width through which tanks can operate.

The Indian Army has reinforced its own tank formations in the area, and deployed additional forces to shore up the heights that it holds along the disputed Line of Actual Control in the region.

By dominating the heights, Indian infantry forces are in a position to engage Chinese armour and troop formations with anti-tank guided missiles, rockets and other weapons. India also operates missile-armed T-90 heavy main battle tanks in addition to upgraded T-72M1 tanks in high-altitude areas in Eastern Ladakh.

NDTV has learned that despite the over-all domination of Indian forces in the region, the Chinese Army continue to hold positions on Black-Top and Helmet, two features on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control. Multiple sources have told NDTV that both positions are within the range of Indian soldiers who occupy near-by heights and hold ground at the base of these features. In other words, any lengthy maintenance and replenishment of these Chinese posts would be challenging.

There has been heavy air activity as well along the Line of Actual Control with the Chinese Air Force stepping up its fighter deployment from both the Ngari-Gunsa and Hotan air bases in Tibet. The bulk of the Chinese fighter-flying has been done by home-built versions of the Sukhoi 30 fighter which also happens to be the mainstay of the Indian Air Force.

The situation along the LAC is "slightly tense", Army chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane said this morning, adding that "we have undertaken some precautionary deployments for our own safety and security". "In view of the situation, we have undertaken some precautionary deployments for our own safety and security. These deployments, we undertook along the LAC," Army chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane said today, referring to the de facto border with China.

"We are sure that the problem can be resolved fully through talks," the Army chief added.

Both the IAF and the Chinese Air Force have deployed electronic warning and support aircraft in the region. It is unclear if the Chinese are performing round-the-clock fighter sweeps in the region.



The Indian Air Force, which is heavily deployed at multiple air bases across North India would respond to Chinese air activity by flying its own combat-sorties across the Line of Actual Control.

It is also unclear if combat aircraft of either sides have made aggressive attempts to lock their fire-control radars on each other, a prelude to firing air to air missiles. The Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria visited Indian Air Force bases in the Northeast yesterday.

Indians tried to take Helmet top and Black top but they were repulsed with their company commander killed in the clash. When will India come again to try to avenge his death?

The rise of the US required the humiliation of the Spanish Empire. As a peaceful and anti-imperialist nation, China has so far refused to respond to provocations with force. However, it seems like this is not seen as patience or restraint, but as weakness, by certain parties.

Their arrogance will result in ultimate humiliation.

No, you are wrong.

India is in control of both black and helmet tops. There is plenty of media news related to this. Just because one media, NDTV, says it doesn't become true.

This is the actual position of both our forces.

He he he, we have taken control of 9000 Sq Km of our pre-1962 territory. Thank you for not fighting back.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

I think in this era of drones of all sorts the real battle will be of a non contact nature. Since China has a huge advantage regarding the drones the Indian positions will be like sitting ducks. I am pretty sure the Indian High Command is fully cognizant of the ground reality. Hence, they're contacting Russia to get an amicable exit pass.......

I have to agree with @bolo . China is playing its cards sub-optimally.

India is a suicide bomber instigated by the US but internally driven by its massive inferiority complex and envy toward China, which it considers racially inferior chinkis (like its own northeast people).

Nobody in the right mind tries to persuade a suicide bomber that what he is doing will result in his own death. They accept as a fact that the suicide bomber wants to die and just shoot him before he gets close enough to do damage.

LOL let me know when you have taken Helmet top and Black top to avenge your dead company commander

 

[Dungeness]

Whole India went frenzy for gaining control of a couple hill tops near LAC, and they think the whole thing is all about who is gaining a few kilometer of land. This country needs a visionary leader who has a vision beyond that of a bargain street vendor, to be a real world power.
