Is this really a video of the recent clashes though and not a video of an older clash?

Wouldn't there be a lot more snow at this point in the year?

Also maybe better to have a general China-India border dispute thread or something like that.

I highly doubt this video shows the recent skirmish due to the simple fact that the skirmish occured at 3 a.m local time in pitch darkness, this seems like another old video probably from the 2017 Doklam crises and subsequent flare ups.

They were not trying to push it down. It was obvious from the Video that the barber wire fence was brought in to further hem in the Chinese soldiers. You can clearly see the rolled up portion in the video so they brought it and likely unrolled it just at that time. So the Indian side was prepared and the Chinese side didn't suspect to be ambushed.

Agreed, the Indians seem to be holding the barbed wire to prevent the Chinese from charging them.

Then why were the pla soldiers trying to push down the border wall/Fence?

What are you claiming happened? The Chinese decided to attack Indian soldiers unarmed?

Honestly, why do both sides insist on having military standoffs over this land? Its population is in the hundreds, nothing grows, there are no resources of value, you can't move heavy equipment through there. Observation posts? To abet what, a land war that will never break out in a million years? What's the point of all this?

It would be a waste of energy to review why the Indian military would get crushed. The point I want to make is understanding the Indian mind. Indians are very prone to making grand self-assessments. They genuinely believe India will become a superpower in 20 years. So, if India and China are equal great powers, border each other, and have a dispute then confrontation is inevitable. India sees itself as preparing for the future of dual superpower confrontation by since 2009 massively upgrading its force levels and infrastructure along the boundary leading to the current Ladakh confrontation.

There is one strategy insight that can be gathered from my observation about Indian grand self assessments. The pathway to peace with India is to persuade them their future is bleak. Remind them they are still growing only modestly fast and are 50 years behind China. It will take them until the 2070s to get to the GDP per capita of China in 2021 (inflation adjusted).

Talking about “the Indians” as a group like that gives racist undertones.

During Jiang Zemin’s reign China actually approached India for a permanent border settlement, which was actually to China’s detriment land area wise. Indians thought they could get more and refused. Rest is history.
