At present, at a time when the West is joining hands with the Philippines to ignite the situation in the South China Sea and the election on the island is entering a one-month countdown, India seems to see some kind of "opportunity" and its mind is alive again. According to the global network, the Supreme Court of India made a ruling in response to "the application of some people in the country", finding that the so-called "Ladakh** Territory" established by India in 2019 is legal and valid. In response, the Chinese side quickly responded, ** spokesperson Mao Ning said that China has never recognized the so-called "Ladakh ** Territory" unilaterally and illegally established by India, stressing that India's domestic judicial rulings cannot change the objective fact that the western section of the China-India border belongs to China. Judging from the tone, China's response has maintained a certain degree of restraint, and as for the reasons, we will elaborate on them next. Ladakh is located in a valley zone between the Karakoram and Himalayas, with a total area of 4About 50,000 square kilometers, about the size of 7 Shanghai, the area has been a part of China historically, because the architectural style is Tibetan, and the landmark buildings of the local capital are very similar to the Potala Palace, so Ladakh is also known as "small **".
As early as 2019, India announced the establishment of the so-called "Ladakh** Territory", blatantly assigning Darak to Indian territory. On January 28 of that year, the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the so-called "2019 Policy and Support Act", sending a wrong signal to reactionaries and plotting against ChinaOn July 14 of that year, some radical forces in Hong Kong, instigated by the United States and the West, created a violent conflict, causing a bad social impact. Also in 2019, "the * forces are not willing to be lonely, and the ** authorities continue to break through the bottom line, manipulate the "sovereignty issue" and "security issue" on the ***, and use a large-scale "law amendment" to compress and crack down on party members with different positions on the island, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
It is against this background that India established the so-called "Ladakh Territory". And just 41 days later, Indian soldiers forcibly broke into the Ladakh region, and the "911 China-India Ladakh Confrontation Incident", in October of the same year, the Indian Mountain Strike Force and the Indian Air Force held a military exercise Xi. In the South China Sea, the Philippines has repeatedly provoked China at Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal, and the United States has advocated that the "U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty" applies to the South China SeaIn the southeast, civil unrest in Myanmar continues to escalate, and China's crackdown on telecom fraud in northern Myanmar has entered the deep water zoneIn the Taiwan region, once the "double poison" combination of Lai Qingde and Hsiao Mei-qin comes to power, the cross-strait situation will inevitably change. History is always strikingly similar, and the experience of 2019 also tells us that India's purpose is obviously not as simple as a mouthpiece. Let's just look at India's recent moves.
On November 22, according to reference sources, India successfully tested the extended-range "BrahMos" anti-ship missile on the newly built destroyer "Imphal", with a range of up to 500 kilometers, and news came out that India will sign an agreement with the United States to purchase 31 MQ-9B UAVs before March 2024, including 15 for the Indian Navy and 8 for the Air Force and Army. In addition, according to India**, India is also negotiating with France to purchase a series of ** purchase agreements including "Rafale" fighter jets, including "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles, and India ** has publicly claimed that this move is to deal with China and Pakistan. Earlier, India Today published an article saying that India should teach China a lesson about the conflict in southern Tibet and launch air strikes against China, just as it did in the air raids on Pakistan in the past. Badauriya, then chief of staff of the Indian Air Force, even openly stated that the Indian Air Force was ready to attack China, saying that the Rafale fighter would give India an advantage in the competition with China, including the ability to "strike first" and "strike in depth."
People are harmless to the tiger's heart, the tiger is hurtful, India's cruel words are domineering, but what is the actual situation?From the middle of the last century to the 80s, India benefited from some of the equipment left over from the British Royal Air Force, including more than 270 combat aircraft such as "Hunter" fighters, "Vampire" fighters, and "Canberra" jet bombers, and imported MiG-23 and MiG-29 from the Soviet Union, and Mirage 2000H fighters from France, while China's main fighter is still J-7, and even fire control radar is not available, and the Indian Air Force at that time was indeed ahead of China. However, with the reform and opening up, China's economic strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and the investment and research of the military industry have been increasing, and we have not only independently developed the fifth-generation aircraft J-20, but also developed large transport aircraft and armed air early warning aircraft that India does not have. From the point of view of performance, the J-16 and J-11B series fighters stabilize the Indian Air Force, not to mention the world's most advanced fifth-generation aircraft such as the J-20, and from the perspective of air defense systems, China's Red Sky Shield and China Skynet are also better than the S400 introduced by India.
If we look at the strength of the army, this has been proven in history, as well as in China's efforts to make peace on the border. On August 25, 1959, an Indian detachment invaded the Langjiu area north of the McMahon Line, and had armed friction with the Chinese border guards, resulting in one death and one injury of the Indian army, which was the first use of force by China and India in the border area, known as the "Langjiu Incident" in history, and then, **personally wrote a long letter to Nehru, clarifying the attitude of the Chinese side, in November of the same year, ** sent a letter to Nehru again, our army took the lead in retreating 20 kilometers, trying to avoid conflict, in April of the following year, **and the then *** chief** He visited India, mediated border conflicts, and showed great sincerity. However, Nehru believed that China's concessions were weak and bullied, and introduced the so-called "forward strategy", setting up more than 40 strongholds in the western section of the Sino-Indian border, and some even behind Chinese outposts, intending to drive away the squadron and slowly encroach on Chinese territory.
On October 16, 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis broke out, on October 20, the Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack began, the first stage of the Indian army suffered heavy losses, on the 24th, China took the initiative to cease fighting, put forward three proposals for a peaceful settlement of the border issue, and took the initiative to retreat 20 kilometers, but India rejected China's proposal, and stepped up war mobilization and preparations, by mid-November, India stationed more than 30,000 troops on the Sino-Indian border. The People's Liberation Army no longer spares its hands and launches a full-scale offensive on the eastern and western fronts, especially in the western sector, our army broke through the Karakoram Mountains, and the front approached the Indian town of Chushule, only 300 kilometers away from New Delhi, the northern gate of India was completely opened, and the Indian radio and television station repeatedly ** the national anthem of India, and the whole country was filled with an atmosphere of national death.
War, for the better and. At this critical moment, China suddenly announced that it would stop its offensive on all fronts, and from December 1, it returned to the Line of Actual Control area, and retreated 20 kilometers again. The whole battle lasted for a month, and our army completely annihilated 6 Indian brigades and captured nearly 4,000 people, while China only paid the price of 722 killed and 697 wounded, and no one was captured. The more famous Pang Guoxing three-man combat team went deep into the Indian army's position alone75 kilometers, after 5 battles, 7 enemy soldiers were killed, 7 artillery pieces were captured, and Pang Guoxing also issued a bold statement that "the enemy not only did not surrender, but also dared to return fire at our army."
In order to win this battle, our army made every effort to invest a total of 4,370 trucks in 8 automobile regiments to transport materials, you know, at that time China had just realized the independent production of heavy trucks, the number of cars in the country did not exceed 20,000, there were not enough cars, people came to make up, under the hands of more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians, 660,000 kilograms of beef and mutton, 150,000 kilograms of vegetables, More than 30,000 kilograms of ghee arrived at the front line, you know, the conditions in New China were very poor at that time, and these supplies were all saved by the people from between their teeth. The army is mighty, the country is mighty!With such an army, such a people, what will India fight with?Historically, China and India have no grievances in the near future, China has fallen into the abyss of semi-colonialism and semi-feudalism since the Opium War in 1840, and India has become a British colony in 1858Throughout the 50s of the 20 th century, Sino-Indian relations maintained a high degree of friendship, the two countries supported each other on international occasions, and India also openly supported China's restoration of the P5 seat at the United Nations. From the perspective of international politics, China is unwilling to push India into the imperialist camp through war. This is China's reluctance to fight a war of self-defense and counterattack against India, and it is also the reason why China has repeatedly tolerated India, but there is a principle in all this, that is, China's territory and sovereignty are sacred and inviolable.
Back to the present, the current China, the "Belt and Road" across the north and south, through the east and west, so that more than 150 countries are connected to each other;On the international stage, the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the RCEP are thriving, many countries from Europe, North Africa, Latin America and the Middle East are visiting China, and the grand occasion of all countries coming to the DPRK is constantly stagedAfter the opening of the five major railways into Tibet, we no longer have to rely on people and horses to support the front line, nor do we need to take advantage of the Cuban missile crisis to launch a self-defense counterattack against India, because we have aircraft carriers, 10,000-ton drives, "Dongfeng," "Eagle Strike," and "Huge Waves," and 1.4 billion descendantsWhat does India have?Some are a plate of loose sand in 28 states, a smoky miasma of garbage mountains and smog, thousands of warplanes that have crashed in the past 40 years, the ** equipment of the "Wanguo brand", and the ignorant Yelang arrogance, no matter how you look at it, India is far from being China's opponent, not in 1962, and not in 2023. The torrent of history is rolling forward, and today's Sino-Indian relations have opened a new chapter, and India's move to play with fire is gradually wearing down China's patience. If it doesn't go well, it doesn't matter, the PLA doesn't mind "another lesson" for India. 100 help plan
