Shoulder China accelerated the development of infrastructure on the LAC

Beijing, Ta. 13

Despite easing tensions with India in eastern Ladakh, China has not only continued to develop infrastructure near its border with India, but has also accelerated it. Satellite images taken in August have captured China's move rather than talk of peace. Even after India and China agreed to withdraw troops from key areas of eastern Ladakh, the Chinese military has continued to develop infrastructure near the Line of Actual Control.

Tensions between India and China have not abated since the infiltration of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in eastern Ladakh in May 2020. China's policy towards India has been exposed at regular intervals. India and China are in talks to withdraw Chinese troops from Depsang. It is at this point that news begins that China has begun to expand the Thianvendian Highway. This highway is being extended to Depsang. Dolat Bagh Oldi, the highest airstrip in India, is only 3 km from here. Is far away.

According to a report in the Hong Kong newspaper HK Post, the August 15 photos show a road being constructed near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The area is close to Aksai Chin, which is under the control of the PLA.

The Tianwendian Highway Aksai is up to the PLA’s military post in China and will now also connect the plains areas of Depsang. Despite the heavy snowfall the Chinese troops do not move from this post and they are constantly doing surveillance work. During the latest blockade, China delivered its tanks and other heavy weapons near the Indian border. Negotiations are underway with China for the withdrawal of Chinese troops from Depsang at this time.

On the other hand, 200 km from Leh. The remote Damchok and Hotspring area has been the subject of controversy several times by the Chinese military. In eastern Ladakh, Chinese troops have repeatedly tried to destabilize the situation by infiltrating the Line of Actual Control. Now the situation has changed after Galwan. The Indian Army in this area has become many times stronger than before. However, despite negotiations to withdraw troops from key locations in eastern Ladakh, China has maintained its military control over Aksai Chin. In particular, it has focused on the plains of Depsang, as India's DBO and Karakoram Ghat are very close from here. Which is a matter of concern for India.
