Modi and and his team are trying to cover up the loss of battle with China at Galwan with one lie after another but in all this debate what is lost is what is China up to?

The fact is China has indicated in clear terms to the Government of India that China does not recognize LAC. This was confirmed and conveyed back in 2010 but Government of India has been lying to its people.

China is poised take over the entire Ladakh & Kashmir valley from India.

Sino-Indian Border 2,000 Km Long: Chinese Media
BEIJING
China appears to be making ground for claiming some 1,600 kms of Indian territory judging by reports in the state-owned media on the length of Sino-Indian border.

Even as the two countries have been discussing the unresolved boundary issue for decades, the state-owned Xinhua and Global Times, an English language newspaper published by the People's Daily, the official mouthpiece of the ruling Chinese Communist Party, have described the Sino-Indian border as nearly 2,000 km long.

The reports about the length of the border were carried in the Chinese official media ahead of Prime Minister Wen Jiabao's December 15-17 visit to India.

Xinhua on the eve of Wen's arrival in New Delhi had said the length of the border was nearly 2,000 km long.

This Chinese assessment contradicts the Indian figure of 3,500 km for the operational border between the two nations.

The Indian position was made clear once again by Ambassador S Jaishankar during an interview with the Global Times.

When asked about the reported tensions in the border, Jaishankar had said, "The reality contradicts any alarmist depiction of the situation on the border, whether in India or in China. We have a long common border of 3,488 km."

The Global Times while publishing the interview on Tuesday surprisingly chose to add a footnote to its report to say that the Chinese government often refers to the border length as being "about 2,000 km."

Jaishankar returned to Beijing from New Delhi today after Wen's Indian visit. Wen went to Pakistan on the second and final leg of his south Asian tour before leaving for Beijing.

There was no immediate comment from the Indian embassy on the reports in the Chinese official media on the length of the Sino-Indian border.

Wen's visit to India took place after the 14th round of boundary talks.

Wen while citing the Indian media's coverage of the situation on the Sino-Indian border had said at the end of his visit on Friday that "not a single shot had been fired" nor had there been any "exchanges in border areas" between the troops.

Faced with negative headlines on the outcome of his talks with the Indian leadership, the Chinese Premier was also sharply critical of the Indian media, saying it was causing "damage" to bilateral ties.

Wen had told a group of editors and scholars before emplaning for Pakistan that he understood that the press in India had freedom but it should play a role in promoting friendship.

Still, the boundary question has "repeatedly been sensationalised" by the media after which leaders of the two countries have had to "repair the damage and harm", he said.

Meanwhile, speaking at a prime time show on the state-run CCTV here today, Indian envoy to China S Jaishankar said the differences over the unsettled border issues had figured high in the talks between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in New Delhi this week.

"Border is complicated issue. It is a border of 3,500 km, most of it is unsettled. So it is complicated negotiations" being conducted by the Special Representatives of both the countries, he said.

The two sides held the 14th round of border talks before Wen's visit to India.

"The most important development so far is that borders remained peaceful and tranquil and that we have agreements in 1993, 1996 and 2005 to ensure nothing goes wrong at the borders. With 3,500 km long borders anything can go wrong," Jaishankar said.

So far "we actually worked guiding principles and political parameters on how to settle the border. So we have a framework in which we are actually moving to settle the border," he said.

"This comes down to practicalities on the ground," he said, stressing that patience is required.
