As we all know, China and India are each other's neighbors, and the two sides have had many frictions and differences on the border issue, and even several conflicts broke out. However, basically, the conflict ends with China's victory every time. However, just recently, conflict broke out on the Sino-Indian border again. According to the report on Global Times 2 on December 13, Colonel Long Shaohua, spokesperson of the Western Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army, made a speech on our routine patrol in the Dongzhang area, pointed out that on December 9, the Chinese side of the border defense force in the Western Theater Command was located in the Dongzhang area in the eastern section of the China-Indian border, organized a routine patrol, which was blocked by the Indian army's illegal crossing of the line. I should deal with it with professional and standardized measures and stabilize the local situation. At present, China and India have broken off from contact. We require India to strictly control and restrain front-line troops and work with China to maintain border peace and tranquility.
It is worth noting that this news was first exposed by Indian media, but Indian media said that the Chinese and Indian troops clashed in the Dawang area of Arunachal Pradesh and "communicated fire". No one has died at present, but several soldiers on both sides were injured. In addition, Indian media accused the Chinese People's Liberation Army of approaching the actual line of control in the Dawang area of Arunachal Pradesh, so the Indian army had to take "hard measures". The two sides immediately evacuated the area. The Indian army commander in the area held talks with China on how to restore peace and tranquility in the area. Some people from the outside world speculated that the Indian media might exaggerate that there might not be any firefight between the two sides, and they were probably holding cold weapons like before. It can be seen that before the Chinese and Indian officials made a formal response, the Indian media deliberately looked for opportunities to lead the rhythm. If they hadn't been the first to reveal the news, we might not have known this news until now.
In addition, according to Colonel Long Shaohua's speech, we can obtain several key information. First, the incident happened in the eastern section of the Sino-Indian border, not in the western section. Most of the previous conflicts occurred in the middle section and the western section. Secondly, the Indian army illegally crossed the line to block the PLA's routine patrol, which is equivalent to infringing on China's territorial rights. The Chinese PLA will inevitably take relevant measures to respond. The most important point is that the PLA has strong professional and standardized handling and stabilized the on-site situation. This detail shows that the Chinese PLA has sufficient experience in the face of the Indian army's provocation and is fully capable of avoiding the conflict escalation again. In addition, China's response directly points out the Indian army this time, rather than referring to foreign troops as before, which also shows that China faces provocation with a more proactive attitude. Finally, this incident did not cause a large number of casualties like the Galwan Valley incident. It can be seen that both the Chinese and Indian militaries have adopted a more restrained attitude, and the top leaders of the two countries have more comprehensive considerations about the occasional conflict. Indian media is so active in fanning the flames this time, which should be dissatisfied with the military and the government. They want to take this opportunity to incite national sentiment at home and put pressure on the military and government leaders, hoping that their attitude towards China will be stronger in the future.
In fact, India often makes a little move every once in a while, and we cannot ignore it, because India sometimes betrays its faith on some international issues, so we cannot fully trust this country. Previously, India established the Army, Navy and Air Force headquarters to form a joint command center to fight against any "potential challenges" in China's northern border areas and the Indian Ocean waters. In addition, just recently, India and the United States will conduct joint exercises on the Sino-Indian border. The exercise location is only about ten kilometers away from China. Although the two countries have conducted exercises many times before, this is also the first time that the exercise is so close to China, and its heart is clear.
However, judging from this incident, the Indian government and military are not the first to publicly hype and expand the situation like they did in the past few times. After Indian media exposed it, the Indian official quickly issued a statement saying that the two countries had communicated and the commanders of both sides held an on-site conversation. It can be said that in the more than three years of competition, the Indian official is temporarily willing to resolve the conflict with peaceful means. Compared with the performance in the Galwan Valley, it has made considerable progress, which indirectly shows that the Indian official has concerns about China's military strength and does not dare to make a big deal.
