Pangong, Ta. Monday 31 August 2020

There has been renewed friction between Indian and Chinese troops. On the night of August 29-30, there was a clash between the two countries' troops near Pangong Tso Lake. In this regard, the Indian government said that the infiltration of Chinese troops was thwarted by the country's brave soldiers.

The impact of ongoing negotiations with China is not visible on the ground. On the night of August 29-30, a violent scuffle broke out between India and China in the eastern Ladakh region. According to the details received, the Chinese troops also continued their movement during the talks. The Indian Army protested the actions of Chinese troops on the southern shore of Pangong Lake.

The Indian troops did not allow the Chinese army to advance and chased them back. According to the PIB, India has strengthened its position at the site of the clash. The statement said the Indian Army wanted to establish peace through dialogue but was equally committed to defending its country. China has built strong military infrastructure around Lake Pangong Soo. Roads have been built along the shores of the lake to accommodate heavy and military vehicles.

The clear stance of the Indian Army

Despite long negotiations, tensions are rising in eastern Ladakh. The Indian military has a clear view that China should bring about a situation similar to that before April. In addition to talks at the military level, the Foreign Ministry and the working mechanism for consultation and coordination between the two countries have also been discussed. Both sides have repeatedly agreed to move in the direction of complete disengagement but to no avail.

Massive warship deployed in the South China Sea, in constant contact with the United States

The Indian Navy has taken a big step after China's incursion into the Galvan Valley in eastern Ladakh. A warship has sunk in the South China Sea. China's People's Liberation Army objected by the navy. Since 2009, China has expanded significantly in the region, using military and artificial islands. The Chinese navy claims that most of the South China Sea falls within its territory. The U.S. Navy also deployed its destroyers and frigates in the South China Sea. During the deployment of their warships here, Indian warships were in constant contact with America.
