India, China dispute: Beijing develops missile and rocket regiment near border, India accuses
According to local Indian media, China is busy expanding its military infrastructure in the Ladakh sector near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China, which India has expressed concern over.
Earlier, Indian media had quoted government sources as saying that China was installing a large number of additional missiles, tanks and rockets in East Ladakh between Finger Four and Finger Seven of Pengong Su Lake.
Jane, however, denied the allegations and said that what she was doing was in her area. But satellite imagery suggests that Chinese construction in the area has increased.
Satellite images show that China has carried out large-scale military construction in the region. The images also show the presence of new weapons and heavy machinery in the area. The Chinese military has also increased the number of patrol boats on the lake.
According to the Indian newspaper 'Live Mint', during the recent talks between the two countries, India has discussed the issue with the Chinese army in the eastern Ladakh region, but the BBC did not confirm this from any independent source. No details have been released.
The Indian media is also saying that China is building new buildings on the LAC, including residential buildings, roads, new highways and so on. At the same time, it has deployed heavy weapons, including missile regiments, which has caused India a great deal of concern.
Correspondents say the increase in military infrastructure is particularly significant, including the widening of highways and the creation of new airstrips. The airstrip is in addition to Central Airbase Kashgar, Gar Gansa and Hotan.
He said that a highway was also being constructed which would further improve the communication of Chinese troops on LAC. China, meanwhile, is focusing on building infrastructure for its air force and air force that will keep it safe from US and other satellites in difficult terrain.
As part of this effort, efforts are being made to recruit people who understand Tibet and the region, who will be deployed with the Han security forces. According to experts, in fact, the inaccessible area makes it very difficult for mainland Chinese people to live here, so China wants to keep locals here.
According to, Keshu Mishra, a professor of history at the Banaras Hindu University and author of several books on India-China relations, that China has been building and that the issue is quite old, but since 2017, since the Chinese president Tensions on the India-China border have risen sharply following a wide-ranging increase in powers.
Professor Keshu Mishra said that it was a matter of concern for India, although China wanted to show its moderate face but its activities continued near the border.
He said: "Since there is no clear demarcation of the border between India and China, China builds new villages on its own, inhabiting militants instead of civilians and this is a matter of concern for India.
While other experts say that compared to last winter, this time China's road connectivity is much better and it is more accustomed to the climate here.
Xi Jinping's announcement
On Sunday, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for "military talent cultivation" to strengthen the armed forces.
According to the People's Daily, he said that talent is key to the high standard of development of the Chinese Armed Forces, victory in military competition and supremacy in future wars.
In September, a conference was held to renew and strengthen the army, and there was talk of finding and irrigating the tent to further strengthen it on the occasion of the centenary celebrations of the People's Liberation Army in 2027.
"Since Xi Jinping gained unlimited power in China, China's attitude towards India has changed," Mishra said.
As President of China, Xi Jinping is also the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC).
China criticizes General Rawat's statement
On the other hand, a few days ago, India's Chief of Defense Staff General Bipin Rawat had described China as the biggest security threat to India, which Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian described as "provocative".
According to the Chinese government spokesman People's Daily, calling the "threat to China" a violation of the "strategic guidelines" between the two countries' leaders, as both countries say it is not a threat to each other. Are
Wu Qian said "it is irresponsible and dangerous to provoke a geographical and political conflict." He also said that the Chinese military is committed to its national integrity and security. At the same time, it is committed to maintaining peace and stability on the border.
Despite China's stance, tensions between China and India have risen sharply over the past year and a half.
It may be recalled that about a year and a half ago, there was a clash between the Indian and Chinese armies in the Gulwan valley in which about 20 Indian soldiers were killed while China did not give any clear details of its losses.
"China has ended its border dispute with all its neighbors except Bhutan and India," Mishra said. Last month, it also signed an agreement with Bhutan. In that case, the border dispute with India alone would have survived.
He says the reason is that if there is one power in the region that can compete with China, it is India.
Already claims to have installed missiles, tanks and rockets
Earlier, in February this year, a similar incident took place when Indian General VK Singh spoke of India's entry into China's territory, to which China had reacted strongly.
Even then, Indian media had reported, citing government sources, that China was installing a large number of additional missiles, tanks and rockets in East Ladakh between Finger Four and Finger Seven on Lake Pengong Soo.
The region was previously under Indian control but was annexed by China after a bloody clash in June last year. Thousands of Chinese troops have been stationed here since then. India has also deployed thousands of troops in its current area of control.
