(Arunachal Pradesh) Last Friday on the border between India and
China, around 300 Chinese soldiers just happened to cross into the Indian side for
whatever reason only the Chinese will know about, expecting to face very little opposition
near the Indian town of Tawang in which carry out a landgrab which has become a
trademark of China of late by pushing the boundry of China forward and the Indian one back few hundred feet.
Unfortunately for the Chinese, India having
faced numerous such incursions by the Chinese and usually coming off worse had
planned for another such an entry on mass into India and instead of the usual
single military unit in the area actually had 3 and as has become par the
course for Chinese , Indian confrontations in the Himalayas a physical violent
confrontation took place, where as mentioned for once the Chinese came off
worse.
The December 9th incident is the most serious
encounter between the two sides in recent years in this sector, and the first
one resulting in injuries since the Galwan clash, in which 20 soldiers on the
Indian side and an unspecified number of Chinese troops lost their lives.
