5 points we must be very careful about in #ChinaIndiaFaceoff
1. Chinese have built roads and can bring troops, A vehicles (fighting vehicles), arty much quicker to a place than we can. Terrain on their side is also easier. Pulling out both sides A vehicles is NOT the same

2. Can we be certain we will know in time if Chinese come back ? Our UAV holdings and surveillance capabilities are less than China
3. Kailash Range positions give us great advantage in that sector. Chinese therefore want us to vacate but refuse to discuss Depsang

4. Depsang intrusions are dnageorus. Estimates range from 80-200 sq km. Why will Chinese move back if we gift them what they want in Pangong, Spangur sector
5. Chinese are finding winter hard, rotating troops in 2 weeks whereas even in Siachen our tps stay for 3 months

They are in a soup of their own making. What do we gain by giving Chinese a way out ?
Are they willing to even exchange maps which they have refused for 30 years ?
