My apologies, you can remove it from here please. It was just to find out whether that post will be taken constructively or will be debunked. Regarding Ladakh, most westerners will not like to see a war in that region . Most posts currently in different websites here are just reporting what we get from Chinese or Indian outlets. They have not taken a stand. The last one is here:-

I am from Germany and work in England. I honour everyone's opinion but consider my opinion so so :) . I didnt find the Indian or pakistani forums quality either. This forum can also improve. I won't get into politics of any country.

For all the noise between Indians and chinese, none can win against each other. My comment is well intended and i can become an equal opportunity victim. :) I know how deadly Indian trolling is although in real always found them very sensible but argumentative.

The chinese opinion currently is also completely opposite to every international opinion out there. They have frictions currently with every Tom, Dick and Harry if these can be countries. Fine with me. I am just here to give a sober opinion and hopefully getting treated soberly.

lol, you are from Germany?

I see, you are indian from Germany but works in England.

Hahahaha, you sure you are not indian ?

BTW, indian detected. (You had bad grammar which is a Classic trait of indians)

Jai Hind !!

:rolleyes:

on the China-India border conflict (I've linked his baike, chrome translation is very good).


It seems he confirmed that the first death in Galwan Valley clash is a Chinese communications officer. His account of the events is from 5:08 to 7:55 in the video translated below:
Originally on June 6th, Chinese and Indian commanders reached an agreement to disengage in order to avoid further conflict. The protocol of disengagement was already established, yet an Indian officer stirred the pot. Seems like the Indian commander was incapable of maintaining discipline of his frontline officers; India later withdrew their army commander.

What caused this? In the frontline, they have the battalion commander from a company -- their company is equivalent to our division -- their division's chief of staff is different from ours in that he doesn't have any right to command, only right to advise. So when you give the division's chief of staff the right to command a battalion, it's actually a promotion.

So, this colonel who now commands a battalion of five, six hundred. All he wants is to contribute a deed of merit -- take advantage of the night when Chinese are away from the LAC to sleep, cross the border, destroy some Chinese tents, capture some Chinese tents as trophies, and return. When destroying our tents -- he believed there's no one in the tents -- there were two civilian workers there, and a fight broke out. From our four civilian workers stationed there, two ran away to call for help; and so our people went on up there to negotiate and de-escalate. During the exchange, they took first initiative and killed our communications officer.

At this point we have to respond. And, as per agreement, first, we would not use fire arms and such "hot weapons", second, we must not use sharp-edged "cold weapons." So blades and knives are out of the question. So what's left is clubs, sticks, and stone, and such "dull cold weapons." When the fight was over, about 20 of their people died, which was unexpected. We also didn't expect that it would cause around 20 casualties. Our guys just wanted to teach them a lesson, they killed one of ours first after all.

The colonel who stirred the pot was the first among their deaths. I think this colonel is quite brave for being the first on the frontlines, and first to die. Later they say "The Chinese were targeting our officers!" The colonel's lieutenants also died. They also say "The Chinese threw stones at us while we ran down the mountain! We fell into the river." Even in June, the Galwan River is extremely cold. And please note, when you fight at altitude of 4,000 meters, if you get a head injury, you immediately have brain herniation, with symptoms like seizure. If you don't treat it in time, it's over. So, later that night, we ask them to come collect their injured. We allowed them to come over but they didn't dare to, and only came to get their men on the second day. Valuable time was wasted.

In the lecture Jin Yinan also talks about India's strategic perspective and reaffirms how China never viewed India as a strategic threat and never wished for conflict with India. He mentions that four of China's five strategic battle lines are ocean facing in the east. The Indian border was of the least concern. He finds it quite perplexing why India would want China to prioritize the China India border for its strategic considerations.

This has been corroborated by one of the episodes from this series, where Xiyazhou aka Asian Train Master interviews an individual from the Chinese Intelligence Agency. The latter states that he has connections on the frontline and has shipped chocolates and milk powder to his friends on the frontline. Even though the conditions have improved, it is still very harsh.

According to him the military snack ration (a type of protein bar with chocolate mixed in) is decent but breaks apart too easily when soldiers carry them on patrols. That seems like a problem they need to rectify.

He also mentioned in numerous episodes that it s very difficult to staunch bleeding at high altitudes.

There's a difference in how the Sino-Indian war of 1962 is perceived on both sides. To India it is still a point of tremendous trauma. As the Indian speaker in this video put it, "Sino-Indian war in 1962 caused a larger trauma to India than the than 150 years of violation by the British Empire". At the time India had a sense of optimism post colonialism, a sense that it has ascended beyond the shackles of Imperialism and can manifest its destiny and lead Asia. That relatively small conflict with China shook those perceptions.

Here's an overview of the video:
When the host asked the Chinese expert if China has this kind of complex, he said "There's a difference in strategic thinking between the two nations. Actually we don't perceive India as the main strategic competitor to overcome. I can honestly say with all my years of experience in the upper echelon of the military, China never made India its main strategic opponent".

This statement visibly upset the Indian guest, "The main problem is that you look down upon India. The issue is India hasn't received fundamental respect". Chinese expert replied with "We haven't viewed the UK and Germany as the main strategic opponent, does that mean we look down upon them? No, this issue doesn't exist."

Indian guest stated, "Whenever there is friction (between India and China) you don't take India seriously". Then the Chinese expert goes on to say flattering words like how the "Chinese military respects India in certain areas such as software, pharmaceuticals, lots of Indian programmers working in the West, etc. China's view that India isn't a strategic competitor doesn't involve a pejorative view. It must be assessed with considerations of how much of a threat and level of hinderance to long term development they have towards China. We take an objective view and don't want jeopardize the fate of nations over some boarder issues. I don't think India wants to either so this should be the basis of future friendly relations. We must both see the existence of this objective foundation."


It seem like to China this conflict is mostly a relic of history thus can take a more pragmatic approach. While to India it is viewed mostly through an emotional lens with the feeling of disrespect. China doesn't view India as the enemy, to India this is offensive.

That would be nice. There will be debates about whether Type 99A is suitable for mountainous warfare. But the Indian and Russian media have been making too much noise about the Type 15s getting trashed by Indian T-72s and T-90s. So the Chinese must have heard about this and hence the experiment. The Type 99A has superior power-weight performance than even the T-90MS. So it makes sense, why this full sized MBT is chosen for this experiment. Fingers crossed that the experiment goes well. I guess they are thinking of having the Type 99A there more of as an insurance. If tank vs tank combat cannot be avoided, then the Type 99As would have to be called upon to even the odds.

Despite all that Indian tough talk, we haven't seen a single piece of T-72 or T-90 there. They have airlifted 4 T-90s in one PR stunt and that was it. They make a show for everything even things they don't have and haven't done. The Chinese show at least prove what they've been saying is true that being they've positioned Type 15 right up to the very lines (new ones). The grainy Indian photo showing two sides and vehicles only had a few IFVs on the Indian side and there were what look to be Type 15s on the Chinese side.

Chinese discussions are confident Type 15's frontal armour cannot be penetrated by even 2a46 from T-72 or India's T-90. They say those tanks only have about 500mm RHA penetration at over 1km and the one piece sabot from Type 15 can penetrate those vintage model T-72 and T-90, not that the Indians could even operate those tanks at those altitudes.

The Indian media and Modi media make a show for every kg of material they can bring up there and even set up fake army hospitals for photo ops with Modi. They would show off T-90s if they could bring them there but they've only airlifted a few token tanks to points that are close to 100km away from the frontline.

The Indians even presented a Chinese photo from an exercise as their own! That's how lowly these losers are. So it's clear they want to bring a lot of material over but they are both unable to and most of that equipment is not designed for operating even above 3000m. The atmospheric changes are extreme.

The Indians instead of reinforcing their frontline with material put some photoshopped Indian flags into Zhiruhe exercise photos from China. There were a few Indian reports last year that presented Chinese photos of PLA equipment as their own. Pathetic. Some were even shared on this thread maybe a thousand pages ago lol. From this exercise below.
