CCP's People's Liberation Army withdrawing from the Ladakh region with land turned over to India

This is not an area that 3dc claims to know a lot about other than it's part of one of the worst physical areas in the world to fight. What just happened? I know that they have been fighting here for many decades.




…This land will now be entirely under Indian jurisdiction.

India has already announced the establishment of the Ladakh Union Territory. This area is roughly equivalent to three Taiwans, forty Hong Kongs, totaling 90,000 square kilometers.

I can tell you that the CCP has not at all informed the Chinese people about the specifics of this agreement with India to "resolve the border dispute." Anyway, the media is controlled by the CCP, and the public has no right to know, only to be brainwashed and incited.

#8  For a given value of seasoned, anyway. They’re high up on the glacier, mostly shouting insults at the Indian troops during the day, then sneaking off at night to move the border markers a few meters farther into Indian territory. Every once in a while tempers are lost and shots exchanged, and sometimes a mass brawl occurs. But the air is thin up there, so neither side has much energy for serious soldierly activities.

As wars go, it’s kindergarten levels of pathetic, as far as I can tell.

#7  I agree with 3dc. I believe that the Chinese in Ladakh could be considered seasoned troops that will be needed to lead a conscript army in an attack on Taiwan.

India, China Troops Withdrawal: Major Breakthrough In Border Talks Starting Today
Published: Monday, October 28, 2024, 9:16 [IST]

In a crucial move to improve diplomatic relations, India and China will finalise the military disengagement process across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) by October 28-29, as reported by ANI.

This development follows a key agreement between India and China aimed at resolving the border dispute. Notably, it marks the first successful resolution since the 2020 Galwan clash, which led to casualties on both sides.

The disengagement will occur at two points of friction along the LAC - Demchok and Depsang Plains in eastern Ladakh.

An Indian Army source informed ANI, "The latest agreements will only apply to Demchok and Depsang and not to other areas. This agreement does not cover other friction zones. Troops from both nations will revert to positions held before April 2020, and will patrol areas they previously covered until April 2020."

Indian troops have begun withdrawing equipment to rear areas in line with the agreement. It is unclear if a symbolic gesture will mark the disengagement's completion at these two points, as unresolved issues remain.

S Jaishankar on the disengagement

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar described the military disengagement at the two friction points along the Ladakh border as a first step, with de-escalation as the next. He highlighted the need for time to rebuild trust and cooperation between the nations.

"The border situation has been very disturbed, with a very negative impact on the overall relationship," the Union Minister remarked on Saturday.

The Foreign Minister pointed out that the agreement addressed three main issues, the first being disengagement, as troops of both nations were "very, very close up to each other, and the possibility of something happening is there."

The second, he noted, is "de-escalation," followed by the "larger issue of how to manage the border and negotiate the boundary settlement."

#3  One comment (not on the net) from an expert on many issues I discussed this with was that China and India had reached a trade deal that could help China's economy, it frees up CCP troops to invade Taiwan and various like issues. No explanation other than stupidity why no news agencies are reporting this.

Does not seem like something China would do.
