Recently,China and IndiaThere are signs of a turnaround in the border situation, and the agreement between the two sides to resume negotiations and move forward with a settlement of the border issue is a positive sign. However, while we are optimistic, we must also remain vigilant, especially to prevent the Indian side from changing its face again and causing trouble with the situation. India has repeatedly torn up border agreements and repeatedly backtracked on their side agreements, which has become a kind of inertia for them. In 2003DoklamThe crisis and the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict preceded thatChina and IndiaFour border agreements have been signed, including those in 1993, 1996, 2005 and 2012. Although India has repeatedly expressed its efforts to stabilize the situation on the border, this has proven to be nothing to prevent India from provoking conflict. Therefore, we must not place our hopes on the negotiations themselves, but should be fully prepared on the basis of the negotiations and ready to respond to possible provocations.
As a self-confident power, China is wise and strong enough not to be bothered by India's bewilderment, let alone bitten by it. In fact, through 20 rounds of commander-level talks, the two sides have eased tensions in the forward areas, and the situation in the border areas has improved compared to the past. However, this does not guarantee that the conflict will not happen again. The conclusion of a security agreement does not eliminate the possibility of conflict, which is inInternationalThere are already too many examples in transactions. When an agreement is no longer attractive to a party's security interests, they may choose to tear it up at any time. Like the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Kazakh-Israeli conflict, etc., all happened in this situation. India has never given up on the rightChina and IndiaAmbitions in the disputed areas, their negotiations are only aimed at achieving temporary stability. As soon as India decides the right time, they are ready to make a comeback, and that is already thereDoklamConfirmed in the crisis.
AlthoughChina and IndiaThe Working Mechanism for Consultation and Consultation on Border Affairs (WMCC) has held 28 meetings and 20 rounds of talks at the level of military commanders, but India is in the border areasMilitaryThere is no relaxation in the deployment, on the contrary, they are constantly strengthening it. India has more than 200,000 troops deployed in the Ladakh region and nearly 70,000 troops near the Line of Actual Control alone. India's military strength far surpasses that of China, both in depth and in the front. In addition, they will maneuver the Rafale aircraft imported from France and the BrahMos supersonic missile, which is jointly produced with Russia, to the forward areas. In the face of such a situation, China must remain vigilant and be prepared to respond to sudden provocations from India.
