India is demoralizing it’s army, by not giving a stand to face off Chinese. Pakistan will also access that India has given up to the Chinese army. What about Amit shah boosting in Parliament about Aksai chin and POK?
Doesn’t this article contradict Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement that there are a sizable number of Chinese soldiers present at the LAC? Is Rajnath Singh right or this article? If there is really a military standoff between China and India why is the Indian government taking such a squeamish stand vis a vis China? When India withdrew Article 370 and 35A China took it to the UNO and was quite vocal in its criticism of India but India is deafeningly silent on the Chinese move in Hong Kong. There is no belligerence shown by the Indian leadership while China has been very anti-India in every international forum; may it be our entry into NSG or the issue of Masood Azhar. As a tit for a tat India could have a taken a firm anti-China stand with regard to Taiwan and Hong Kong. When the whole world is contemplating forcing China to comply with an international enquiry into the origins of Coronavirus India, for reasons best known to it, remained silent for the most part. It is intriguing diplomacy by India or has China succeeded in browbeating India into submission?
CNN News 18 clarified the same..
So according to the writer, Chinese are on their side and we are on our side and basically that is all there is to it. So then what is the story? Why create such a fuss? After a couple of months, Modi and Xi will be meeting somewhere in Inner Mongolia, holding hands and swinging and all will be forgotten.
And who believes you still? Spouting imaginary statistics and writing middle-brow English does not make you an iota more believable. BJP is unleashing its best Soi-disant intellectuals to tell an impossible story. Try harder, boot-licker.
Dont be a dumb idiot.. Go and check for yourself on Google Earth and Planet Earth.. But then do you even have the basic skills at map reading?
It’s very much appreciated that the author tries to underline his arguments with OSint numbers and maps. Even though I am not sure if the maps provided are current and precise enough. If there’s a mature discussion of other opinions, those arguments should as well be made with facts and figures.
If everything is ok as writer suggest then why not modi declare that no chinese enter in indian territory.
