WHAT CHINA IS SAYING
- The Chinese side has lodged a strong protest and solemn representation to the Indian side, urging it to strictly restrain its frontline troops according to the consensus, and not cross the borderline and make any unilateral movement that could complicate the border situation
POINT TO NOTE
- Indian and Chinese border patrols typically do not carry firearms in their disputed border zones, under mutually agreed protocols intended to prevent an inadvertent escalation of violence. But troops have engaged in hand-to-hand combat at several locations along the disputed border in recent weeks. Indian official said the previous clashes had resulted in a number of injuries to its troops.
GLOBAL RAMIFICATIONS
- India – China border will not be very difficult to hand for both the countries after soldiers have died in the recent clash in Ladakh Unless there is some major intervention by the top leaders to quickly resolve the border dispute, more clashes can follow
GLOBAL RAMIFICATIONS
- USA will be tempted to comment on the recent events and perhaps
- Trump administration will take some action as well Trump would not like to look weak in the upcoming 2020 U.S elections in terms of foreign policy. China has already ended Hong Kong’s autonomy under Trump administration and now they are openly attacking a key U.S strategic partner – India. Trump will have to speak up for the sake of the upcoming elections.
