The official #PLA statement on the tragic #Galwan face-off is worth scrutiny: it refers to the Galwan Valley as being “on the China-Indian border” and that the Indian Army “crossed” the #LAC and “violated their commitments”. 1/n
It says that “The sovereignty of the #GalwanValley” has always been China’s. The statement uses the words “seriously violated” twice in its reference to Indian troops having “seriously violated the agreements between the two countries on border issues” and “seriously violated ..
the consensus reached in the Chinese-Indian commander-level talks, and seriously damaging the relations between the two armies and the feelings of the two peoples”. The statement says that “we demand” that India “strictly restrain the frontline troops..
and return to the correct track of dialogue and talks to resolve differences”.
Chinese statement minces no words.The gloves are off. It is in tradition of communications received from Chinese after border dispute erupted in 1959 & there were skirmishes in Western&Eastern Sectors. Both Indian Army &MEA statements of Tuesday sound much milder, almost anodyne.
Chinese always present themselves as injured party &blame opposite side for the consequences.A dark hour like this with all the blood that has been shed is such a dreadful tragedy. Efforts made for normalization since 1976 have come to nought.
There’s a bad moon rising on #IndiaChina relations. (End of thread).
