Chinese workers may have been deployed in Azad Kashmir in some numbers for a long time, China significantly increased its military presence in the middle of the last decade, ostensibly to carry out development works such as building dams, power projects, roads and communication networks.
Varying reports have assessed the number of Chinese troops in Azad Kashmir to be up to 5,000. They have also been spotted along the LoC. Since some of these projects are sponsored by the Chinese, their presence in Azad Kashmir is expected to be a long-term or permanent affair.
The Chinese posture along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) has, over the past decade or so, has become increasingly dominating. Transgressions across Indian claim lines have increased manifold. Chinese troops have on some instances come several kilometers inside India forcing a stand-off for days.
A recent report by the Pentagon warns that China has increased defence capabilities and deployed more troops along the Indian border.
The report also talks of increased Chinese military presence, including bases, in various parts of the world, particularly Pakistan. At the same time, Pakistani too has ramped up military deployment along the LoC in the Kargil sector.
The Indian Army is in the process of raising a mountain strike corps. Though based in the north-east, it could be deployed in the north-western sector also. Last year, Pakistan declared its intention of using low-yield or tactical nuclear weapons with a relatively lesser area of impact, to hold back an Indian offensive. It has claimed that requisite infrastructure is in place for launching tactical nukes.
This has added a new dimension to the whole scenario. The border issue with China and Pakistan remains a tricky affair. So, it leaves open the possibilities of a conflict or attempts to grab territory.
The 1999 Kargil war saw little involvement from China, but since then, the China has grown economically, modernised its military, developed border infrastructure and adopted an aggressive posture.
Its actually raw with their more than dozen consulates in Afghanistan doing proxy war in Pakistan.
Republic of India, United States of America, Republic of Turkey are working together for making Afghanistan stronger.
And Raw Don't need to fight on front............they are just backing them...by giving money, training and weapons...

Ambassador Abrar Hussain was reportedly summoned by General Murad Ali Murad, the deputy chief of staff of the Ministry of Defense of Afghanistan.
The military attaché of the Pakistani Embassy General Farooq Zaman was also summoned to respond regarding the indiscriminate artillery shelling in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces.
Gen. Murad said the artillery shelling must stop immediately considering the sensitivities along the two sides of the Durand Line.
Pakistan not like Syria, Libya or Yemen! Even US & India tried their best and probably trying further to ènter into Pakistan with ISIS & Daash.
