2) Hours after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that the government has “ceded” Indian territory to the Chinese & raised questions over the agreement, the Ministry of Defence issued a strongly-worded statement.
3) The ministry made clarifications in the statement: “the assertion that Indian territory is up to Finger 4 is categorically false. The territory of India is as depicted by the map of India including over 43,000 sq km currently under illegal occupation of China since 1962.”
4) “Even the Line of Actual Control (LAC), as per the Indian perception, is at Finger 8, not at Finger 4. That is why India has persistently maintained the right to patrol upto Finger 8, including in the current understanding with China,” the MoD said.

THREAD: #Myanmar’s Army of Darkness

The military was never interested in peace or a democratic transition & neither was Aung San Suu Kyi

The Tatmadaw is an army of darkness, its inner logic a riddle, its brutality a reflection of its repressive character
thenation.com/article/world/…
2) The Tatmadaw is a postcolonial army that has, since Myanmar’s independence in 1948, acted as a colonizing force in multiple ethnic areas. Brutal war against the civilian population has long been a feature of its counterinsurgency against dozens of diverse ethnic rebel armies.
3) Suu Kyi pursued “national reconciliation” not for peaceful resolution of incessant civil war with ethnic minorities. For her, rather, it was between her ethnic Bamar civilian political party and the Bamar-dominated military—an elite bargain.

#Myanmar’s generals blindsided by Gen Z protests

Youthful demonstrations have used social media and other tech to outmaneuver and expose old-fashioned coup makers

Generation Z members are “digital natives” known for their social media & internet-savvy.

2) It is becoming abundantly clear that Myanmar’s military leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing didn’t anticipate the youthful fury his democracy-suspending coup would spark.
3) These are vastly different from those in 1988, when soldiers managed to suppress a pro-democracy uprising by spraying automatic rifle fire into crowds of unarmed demonstrators.

3) "Like many others, I am concerned about what appear to be significant conflicts of interest between members of the WHO team and scientists and doctors in China and how much this will impede an unbiased examination of the origin of SARS-CoV-2," said Dr. Quay.

3) In comments that raised eyebrows of lawmakers in Canberra, New Zealand Trade Minister Damien O’Connor noted his government had maintained cordial ties with China in stark contrast to Australia, which has been buffeted by trade reprisals after calling for a coronavirus probe.
