intercepted from "India Express" report
This should be considered a good thing, after all, our soldiers returned safely, and the hearts of thousands of netizens also fell.
The most common phrase, "Just come back", represents the aspirations of the Chinese people. I would also like to thank all the netizens for their concern and support for the Chinese border soldiers.
However, since the news reported that Chinese soldiers were detained by the Indian side, many netizens have raised some questions, mainly from the perspective of caring about soldiers. Liaowangjun is not talented, and within the scope of his own knowledge, he can selectively give some answers, whether it is wrong or incomplete, and also hope to leave a message after the article to criticize and help.
. Why do my border soldiers get lost?
In fact, an important aspect is that the border between China and India lacks boundary markers and obvious signs, especially after heavy snow, it is very easy to get lost.
On this point, Qian Feng, director of the research department of the National Institute of Strategic Studies of Tsinghua University, told the Global Times that it is not uncommon for the personnel of the Sino-Indian border troops to get lost, because the terrain is complex and the signs are not obvious, and front-line soldiers stray into the other side. Side-by-side often occurs, and China and India have formulated relevant agreements and agreements in a targeted manner.
Let's take a look at the map below. Chushule is a narrow and long sandy valley on the border between China and India, with an altitude of 4337 meters. To the north is Pangong Lake. To the east and west are mountains with an altitude of 5700 meters.
The picture below can more intuitively feel the complexity of topography, so netizens understand it.
. Why is the situation on the Sino-Indian border so tense, yet let individual soldiers perform tasks?
Liaowangjun doesn't know much about the troop, but what kind of task is performed, the troop has the troop's confidentiality regulations, so we don't need to know in detail.
Then why is it that a soldier goes out and loses his way?
Do we still remember the "Global Times" report on October 21 last year that the Chinese soldiers who got lost on the evening of October 18 because they were requested by the herdsmen to help find yaks have been officially handed over by the Indian side to the Chinese border troops.
Judging from this incident, it is indeed an accident, so let's not make random guesses.
. Why did the Indian army find the Chinese soldiers in two hours and hand them over after three days?
In the early morning of January 8, a soldier of the Chinese frontier defense force was lost due to the darkness and complicated terrain. After the incident, the Chinese border guards immediately informed the Indian side of the situation and hoped that the Indian side would assist in search and rescue.
Nearly two hours later, the Indian side clearly replied that it had found a lost Chinese soldier.
But some netizens questioned, why did it take two or three days to hand over to the Chinese side?
In the words of the Indian side, it will be returned to the Chinese side after consulting the superior.
The media pointed out that the areas under the control of the two sides in the western section of the Sino-Indian border are intertwined, and the terrain is relatively complex. It often happens that soldiers from both sides get lost. The two sides have an agreement. return.
Therefore, it may require a certain procedure to ask for instructions, resulting in a delay in time.
Whether it is understood or not, the safe return of our soldiers is the most important thing.
We also believe that this incident should not lead to new tensions in the border areas and that the matter can be resolved smoothly, which is also a sign of progress in recent negotiations between the two countries.
