[We have the Japanese arming up and the Americans are working hard on the Indians, and the Indians pack a serious punch. I personally think they're stronger than the Chinese and that if the Indians and Chinese were to fight that you might see the Indians kicking butt. Of course, why did the USA and the West build up China in the first place? They were listening too much to JEWS! The whole thing is a mess. Anyhow, this is all good news. It means that China is going to be cooped up there in Asia. China will not pose a threat beyond Asia. Jan]
Indian Foreign Ministry says it is meant to put pressure on Beijing to de-escalate tensions in the region
India explains record troop deployment near China border
Indian Foreign Minister Subramanyam Jaishankar has announced that his country has deployed a record number of troops on the border with China in an effort to “pressure” Beijing into de-escalating tensions in the region. He noted that the move comes after China significantly ramped up its presence on the disputed border since 2020.
Chinese and Indian troops clashed in the northeast Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh on December 9, marking the first altercation between the two nuclear-armed Asian states in nearly two years. The scuffle did not last long, as both sides quickly disengaged, with only a few soldiers sustaining minor injuries.
The Indian Defense Ministry claimed that the fighting was provoked by Chinese troops who had attempted to cross the disputed Himalayan border and accused Beijing of trying to “unilaterally” change the status quo in the region.
Following the incident, India’s opposition National Congress party accused the government of “being indifferent” to the threat from China and demanded that the border situation be immediately discussed.
Jaishankar responded by stating that “if we were indifferent to China, who sent the Indian army to the border? If we were indifferent to China, then why are we pressuring China today to de-escalate and disengage? Why are we publicly saying that our relationship is not normal?”
India accuses China over Himalayan border unrest
Beijing, meanwhile, has called on New Delhi to “strictly control and contain” its troops on the front line and has offered to work together to maintain peace and tranquility on the border.
Previously, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin had insisted that the China-India border area was “generally stable” and that both sides continued to maintain dialogue on border-related issues.
The nearly 3,500-kilometer Himalayan border has long been a point of contention between the two Asian states. In 1962, China and India fought a full-scale war for control of the area, which Beijing claims in its entirety and considers part of Tibet. Hand-to-hand fighting broke out along the line in 2020 after China objected to India’s construction of a road in its claimed territory. India said it lost around 20 troops, while China claimed to have lost four.
