CHINA'S TRECHERY
I feel that the current stand-off at Ladakh in Pongong Tso as well as earlier Galvan valley is because China wanted to occupy these areas. These are disputed part of LAC. In recent times Indian Government has made it amply clear that lost territories such as PoK, Gilgit Baltistan and Aksai Chin shall be regained. Aksai Chin was occupied by China after 1962 war and once occupied China is reluctant to return the territories. China feared that if it did not occupy areas now in Ladakh, then India would somehow make a claim to Aksai Chin and take it back. This is the reason China is not pulling back from Ladakh and not disengaging. I suspect that even after the winter China would be there. We have to counter this somehow, may be, take the issue up more strongly with the other countries in the world or asking straightaway for Aksai Chin through UN. In addition to all blockages, be it economical or commercial, It is to be made clear to China that it is a pariah to India if it continues to occupy territories illegally.
This is obvious from the recent messages made by Chinese ambassador to India. China has said that its troops are well within its own borders and not a threat to India. India can be more aggressive in its rhetoric and call out China's bluff. more
