India reports a military clash with China at their border
December 13, 202211:23 AM ET

NEW DELHI — Soldiers from India and China clashed last week along their disputed border, India's defense minister said Tuesday, in the latest violence along the contested frontier since June 2020, when troops from both countries engaged in a deadly brawl.

Rajnath Singh, who addressed lawmakers in Parliament, said the Friday's encounter along the Tawang sector of eastern Arunachal Pradesh state started when Chinese troops "encroached into Indian territory" and "unilaterally tried to change the status quo" along the disputed border near the Yangtze River area.

Singh said no Indian soldiers were seriously hurt and troops from both sides withdrew from the area soon afterward. A statement from the Indian army on Monday said troops on both sides suffered minor injuries.

Singh said that local military commanders met Sunday to discuss the dispute and the Indian government spoke to China through diplomatic channels.

Col. Long Shaohua, the spokesperson for the People's Liberation Army's Western Theater responsible for the area, said that Chinese border guards organized "a routine patrol on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control" but were "blocked by the Indian army illegally crossing the line."

"We ask the Indian side to strictly control and restrain front-line troops, and work with China to maintain peace and tranquility on the border," Long said in a statement posted on his official social media.

At a daily briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenin said "the present situation on the China-India border is peaceful and stable overall."

For decades, India and China have fiercely contested the Line of Actual Control, a loose demarcation that separates Chinese and Indian held territories from Ladakh in the west to India's eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, which China claims in its entirety. India and China fought a war over the border in 1962.

In recent years, soldiers from both sides have patrolled areas along the disputed border. Opposing soldiers often come into contact and the two Asian giants have accused each other of sending troops into the other's territory.

In June 2020, a clash in the Karakoram mountains in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh sparked tensions after soldiers fought with stones, fists and clubs. At least 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers died. The countries both stationed tens of thousands of troops backed by artillery, tanks and fighter jets along their de facto border.

After multiple meetings between military commanders, some Indian and Chinese soldiers have pulled back from a key friction point in Ladakh, but tensions between the two Asian giants remain.

In November, Indian army chief Manoj Pande said there had been "no significant reduction" in Chinese troop strength in Ladakh. He said the border situation was "stable but unpredictable."

1-3. It is reported that the Indian armed forces have transferred at least eight 155-mm K-9 self-propelled artillery mounts to the Tawang region (Arunachal Pradesh). The transfer date has not been specified.

4. NEWS NO MEDIA:
The situation on the border with India is "stable" - Beijing

“As far as we understand, the situation on the Sino-Indian border is generally stable. Both sides maintained an unhindered dialogue on the border issue through diplomatic and military channels ”(c) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin.

W. Wenbin did not comment on the alleged clash, saying that "as far as we understand, the situation on the border between China and India is generally stable."

Wang said the two sides have maintained an unhindered dialogue on the border issue through diplomatic and military channels all along, and it is hoped that the Indian side will move in the same direction as China.

Beijing urged New Delhi to "sincerely implement the important consensus reached by both leaders, strictly abide by the spirit of the agreements and understandings signed by both sides, and jointly maintain peace and tranquility in the China-India border area."

1. Clash area

2. Map with the area (red circle) where the clash of the armed forces of China and India

But from December 15 to 16, the Indian armed forces planned to conduct an exercise of the Air Force in the airspace adjacent to the area where the border incident occurred. No matter how this doctrine develops into a prerequisite for creating tension in relations between the two states...

3. Another footage of the clash between indian and chinese troops emerges...

India and China dont share a border. The border in question is the Tibet-India border. Tibet came under the control of People's Republic of China in 1720 after the Government of Tibet signed the Seventeen Point Agreement which the 14th Dalai Lama ratified on 24 October 1951 but later repudiated on the grounds that he rendered his approval for the agreement while under duress.

At the start of the Ukraine conflict commentators judged the relative strength of the Russian armed forces based on their relative combat experience and battle hardness on the number of recent conflicts the armed forces were involved in. The Russians were ranked relatively well based upon their armed actions in Syria, Crimea, North Caucasus, Georgia and Chechnya. In reality the Russians have so far not performed to expectations. The Chinese People's Liberation Army on the other hand other than crushing Tiananmen Square protesters and bullying their neighbors, their last major armed action was the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979-1991 which ended in a stalemate. So is China's military also a paper tiger like Russia's has proved to be. With no first-hand combat-experienced soldiers, high corruption, and inferior weaponry maybe China's military is all bark and little bite.

This is one of the most interesting clashes! The last time they got into a scuffle, people died. They at least have an agreement in this region to not be armed but they put nails in those sticks and stuff. India is always such a wildcard when it comes to international conflict. They have nukes too!

Great post!
