The defence spending is expected to increase to $208 bn in the coming year, China said Friday at the start of the annual National People’s Congress meeting in Beijing.
Addressing Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha's state conference, Rajnath Singh says the Modi government has never compromised with India's unity, territorial integrity & sovereignty.
At the virtual meet, four Quad nations — India, US, Australia and Japan — emphasised on respect for territorial integrity, transparency and peaceful resolution of dispute, MEA said.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said the frontline troops have started disengagement in a 'synchronised and organised way' on both sides.
It is clear neither side seems to prefer war. Despite face-to-face deployment, no casualties have taken place since the Galwan Valley incident in June 2020.
Rajanth Singh says India will withdraw to the Dhan Singh Thapa post near Finger 3 and the area between this and Finger 8 will become a no-go zone for both sides.

India’s defence sector is trying to penetrate the African market. But with China already extending significant influence, India must now play catch-up.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
China is bigger country. It area is 2.6 times of india. Population is more or less same or little more. Educationally far better than India. Financially much bigger than india. Nominal gdp of china in 2019 20 was 13 tn dollar. Where as india was 2.6 tn dollar. Hence it like palmkin to orange. Hence no comparison. But see other way. China having bigger threat from USA. Direct fight between two. First about economy. Then comes to military power. China needs more money to give big fight to America. There is struggle for supremacy in world stage. Now presently in south china sea. China needs very big military presence in the south china sea to make it relevance. China’s main enemy is USA not India. China would not think full scale war with india. Rather china put its 70 percent attention to sc sea. Taiwan is big thorn in china game. Infia is big power in asia after china. Hence china would keep india busy to restrict India to grow big. But modiji has given sleep less night to china due to its fast degradation of border infra and induction of better fighter in IAF. India positioned force and equipment in LoAC as Mirror position of china. Hence china is in fixed in indian border and cannot increase more men and machinery. Now both sides have trying to put more attention in border. But actual pressure will be exerted by Quad. Now the game is in mind and diplomatic pressure. China never imagined the new India under new government.
India China border dispute does not extend over populated area with any local support to China. Even if China succeeds in pushing India in those area finally retaining them will eventually need manpower stationed in most inhospitable conditions.
The increase in the defence budget may improve technical capability but will have no effect on the man per man equation, where territory is to be conquered and held. Stand off attack capabilities in such situation does not help achieve the objective. Destruction of the ground infrastructure and one sided loss of life will only lead to a devastating response spinning out of control, inviting the exercise of deterrence capabilities.
The limitations that exist on the western border are also applicable on the northern and eastern borders with changed roles.
Any major conflict between countries with deterrence capabilities is unthinkable unless total first strike annihilation is contemplated, so the enhanced defense budget is unlikely to have any serious effect on border tensions with India.
