Committed to resolve current situation on India-China border through peaceful negotiations: MEA
“Both India and China are in regular touch through military and diplomatic channels to resolve the situation. This was also the consensus when the two defence ministers met,” MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said during virtual weekly briefing.
“The Indian side is still severely misjudging the strategic situation with China, believing China does not wish for a conflict with India, while facing pressure from the US, and that India could force China to concede by nibbling into Chinese territory”, writes Chinese state media in an editorial on the present situation between India and China
Engaged in a stand-off with the Chinese army, the Indian Army has given instructions to field commanders that the Chinese should not be allowed to transgress at any cost and also directed them that troops should maintain utter discipline while protecting Indian territory.
I think the ChiComms have bitten off more than they can chew. India’s weapons are much more high-tech than China’s stolen tech, they have the higher ground (Chi’s didn’t read Sun Tzu), and the US has India’s back.
