India China Ground Situation

A broad consensus has been achieved by India and China on restoring the "ground situation" along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) pursuant to talks, including for patrolling and grazing cattle in the traditional areas, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

The situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China is "stable but not normal," according to Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi. General Dwivedi said the current state of affairs remains "sensitive".

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has expressed readiness to join hands with India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval to "properly handle" issues related to the situation on the ground in the border areas, amid the border row in eastern Ladakh.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday carried out a comprehensive review of India's military preparedness in eastern Ladakh on the first day of his three-day visit to the region amid a deadlock with China over the next stage of disengagement.

A wary China is rushing a high-level delegation led by a vice minister of the Chinese Communist Party here to assess the ground situation and avert a vertical split in the ruling Nepal Communist Party, according to media reports on Saturday, nearly a week after embattled Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli got the House of Representatives dissolved.

The way ahead to resolve the situation at the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh is to not unilaterally change the situation on the ground while talks on disengagement are on, the foreign ministry said on Thursday, days after the sixth round of discussions between senior commanders of both nations.

China is using a tactical situation on the ground to its advantage and it has been making threats, like the one that is happening on its border with India, for a long time, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday.

Foreign policy is considered by almost everyone as the most outstanding success story of the present government. Unfortunately, the situation on the ground does not confirm that view.

In a surprise move, China has elevated the rank of its Tibet's Military Command which looks after the security along its border with India by putting it under the jurisdiction of the Chinese People Liberation Army ground forces, suggesting it may "undertake some kind of military combat mission in future."
