Chinese troops enter India
During the recent rhetoric between China and India, the news in the Indian media also made headlines that the Chinese army had recently penetrated deep into the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, but the New Delhi government did not say anything about it. There is silence.
According to Indian media reports, about 100 cavalrymen of the Chinese army had entered the Barahoti area about 5 km from the LAC, but then returned a few hours later.
Indian media have quoted some defense sources as saying that they are puzzled as to why such a large number of Chinese troops had finally come so far.
There is also a border dispute between India and China in the region, and there have been reports in the past that Chinese troops have entered areas where Indian troops usually patrol.
According to a DW report, many Indians on social media are questioning why the government is silent on the issue.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in response to a question about tensions across the LAC that it was due to India's current policies and that the LAC would remain in place until the Indian government refrains from such actions. Tensions will remain.
India has rejected allegations by the Chinese Foreign Ministry regarding border tensions that India is pursuing its forward policy and is on the verge of illegally crossing the Line of Actual Control. India says the main reason for the tension on the border is the deployment of a large number of forces and without a reduction in this number, mutual tensions will not decrease.
It is clear from these statements by India and China that efforts to reduce border tensions between the two countries have not made much of a difference, and that tensions remain largely unchanged. Many experts also say that in the near future, tensions are more likely to increase rather than decrease.
