Ladakh Flash Point

China controls 1000 square km of India's perception of LAC. That is roughly this much in area (only for representation).

Well the People's Daily reposted that Global Times article.

Does this make that the official position of the CCP?

Would this be considered the official position?

China needs to prepare to carry out a military struggle in the China-India border area. We should try our best to resolve frictions through peaceful means. But when India recklessly challenges China’s bottom line, China must not be soft. It must take military actions when necessary, and ensure it can win.

I think Global Times has emerged in recent years to become more influential. The People's Daily has taken a back seat it seems. This is in no small way attributed to the leadership of its high profile Chief Editor Hu Xijin.

Old man Hu is pretty unpredictable. He alternates between "China needs much more nuclear weapons!" to "let's all calm down and no one fire the first shot."

局座 was making fun of him recently saying "don't fire first shot? Then why even have guns."

All I know is Indians ruined the internet.

In any large scale confrontation, China should claim as much land as possible as reparations for damage caused by Indian online trolling.

The situation is almost entirely focused on the south of Pangong Lake from the banks of finger 4's immediate southern counterpart to Reqin. India in the past always held the mountains right to the east of this southern region and they have considerably more build up and supply apparently. Focus where you are strong and attack where they are weak, using Tibetan "frontier forces". Rather clever textbook tactics but then that also means expected moves.

Since it's a predictable move to be honest so if the CCP and PLA were truly caught by surprise (assuming Indian ingress is true) then they are just simply too incompetent. Better to just back down if this is the case. More likely this is controlled and the expectation was always that the Indians will look for paths of least resistance. If this is expected and allowed to eventuate, then there may be escalation from PLA since this is the natural motivation for allowing such obvious gaps to exist and ingress to occur. Fireworks to be expected if so. If no fireworks, seems like CCP and PLA were just caught with their pants down.

I think biggest retaliation against Indians should be cutting them off internet by targeting their communications. Trust me, it will have biggest impact than nuclear weapons

lol yep. At this point you can fill a library with bhakt lies and the nonsense the Indians are making up themselves and spreading as legit information or trustworthy rumours. All the major ones have so far been debunked and the evidence shown. Well done to the sane people I suppose.

Nowadays, the official positions are conveyed by the respective ministries or conveyed through the respective spokesperson.
So GT or PD opinions might be close to the consensus among those in charge, but they are not official.

It seems PLA/CCP used Pangong as distraction while real objective was Galwan valley, Depsang. Meanwhile India's gone with capturing other land for bargaining. Remains to be seen whether this was always planned and expected by CCP or if they will react to Indian ingress or they simply didn't consider Indians will make this move which sort of implies CCP doesn't care as much about this part. Could even be the desired trade agreement. PLA holds Depsang and galwan valley along with pangong lake up to finger 4 while IA is given Reqin with minimal or no resistance.

All will become clear once we see how CCP reacts in coming days and weeks. This drama is getting interesting and exciting lol.
