Did China just test its tectonic weapon

[StraightShooter]

Are you getting this information from a reliable source?

Yes. Back channel talks are on but progress is almost nil. Chances of China firing the first shot next week are pretty high.

In these back channel talks, what is the Indian stance? Is it the same that we hear in the media?

Even though India is publicly taking the stand that both China & India withdraw simultaneously but privately India has expressed willingness to withdraw first on the condition that it would be followed by Chinese withdrawal and assurance that the construction would not be restarted until there is agreement by all the parties. Chinese have rejected this proposal and wants India to withdraw first before talks could start. No assurance is being given. This is same as their publicly articulated position. China is not budging an inch and hence war is inevitable to start next week. China is going to fire the first shot next week.
