Chinese troops make incursion bids in Ladakh

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

LEH/NEW DELHI: Indian and Chinese troops recently had two face-offs along the line of actual control (LAC) in Ladakh, in the same area where People's Liberation Army had pitched camps in April 2013 leading to a three-week long stalemate.

According to officials in the know of developments, the Chinese troops came to Burtse and Depsang areas in north of Ladakh, first on March 20 and then on March 28, apparently as part of attempts to reach Old Patrol Point, the last established base of Indian security forces.

The PLA troops made attempts to push the Indian troops back but these were thwarted, they said.

Vigilant Indian troops displayed the banners in Chinese asking the PLA to return to their side, the officials said.

Ever since this incident, the Indian troops have been carrying out regular patrols to higher points along the LAC to keep check on movement of the PLA.

India and China share over 4,000 km of LAC. China claims approximately 90,000 sq km of territory in Arunachal Pradesh besides 38,000 sq km in Jammu and Kashmir sector.

The area where the Chinese troops came had seen 21 days standoff between PLA and Indian Army in April 2013 which took place ahead of the then Chinese premier Li Keqiang's visit to India. It was sorted out after hectic round of negotiations following which the Chinese troops withdrew.

China has been in denial mode over repeated incursions by the PLA. During the 2013 incident, then then spokesperson for the ministry of national defence Colonel Geng Yansheng had said that such issues happen because the boundary line has not been demarcated and both sides have different interpretation on the line of actual control.

China has been eyeing this area as it gives advantage to India to overlook the Karakoram highway linking territory illegally occupied by China with Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.

Besides, India has an Advanced Ground Landing (AGL) facility in Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) which was activated in August 2013 and Indian Air Force had managed to land a C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft at the air strip located at 16614 feet above sea level.

Not Possible ! Chinese are god father of Pakistans policy against India. They need enemies to be seen as threat by their people so Unaccountable funding for secret defence projects will be seen by their people as must have !!! And again same similarities between PA and PLA . Only L missing ! I call it as a long leg ! Right now Indian Army can hold Chinese advancement from many advantageous point all along tibetian borders ! Their force projection will be over whelmed by the new mountain strike crp. So they need Pakistan to push from the other side. They have already invested so much into Pakistan . So there is no need for Peace between India and Chinese. As they presume. Until unless we start arming Vietnam and make it as our strategic partner . And make sure that new front along the China Vietnam border Communist won't accept any solution at the borders even when India is ready make the current borders as international borders or permanent borders . Let alone the pre 1962 border settlement. Couple of missile boats armed with brahmos and large quantities of Pinaka , Arjun mk2 , 2 squadrons of naval variant of tejas without the heavy landing gear and icing on the top will be to sell Kolkata class destroyers with soft loans . Development of Port in Vietnam , Indonesia will add more than enough fire power to keep the PLAN subs away from the IOR and by doing so strengthening SCS countries security too.

Till then this saga will be keep going on. China will have attack India now or never . They understand their weaknesses with aging more than 60% weapons system which were produced in large numbers from 80s will have to be replaced . Mean while India will over take Chinese weapons system with proven very high tech Western system from land , air to sea.

Seems like they have nothing else to do. I am not sure boarder issue will be solved soon. So hide & seek will continue for a while I guess.

It seems China and India are headed on a collision course. Only a matter of time a single shot is fired and a live fire skirmish begins.

Another attempt by Indian to mask their own economic failure after export drop and debt increase. Typical India cheap move.

While Modi if failed to lift India economic on promise of export increase and lower debt be disaster for his congress. By making up some stories of Chinese incursion and then brag about fight back Chinese aggression will earn Modi a few cheap points.

China feels that its regional-power status got hit severly,when a small force like myanmar bombed and "killed" chinese,not once but twice.
To show some strength China staged the incursions.
This seems a lot legit
