Is The India-China Peace Process Now In Tatters?

The Indian Army, now controlling multiple key ridges on the south bank of the Pangong Lake, has effective military control of the entire disputed area in the region. The Army is now in full control of the South Bank of the Pangong Lake by occupying key ridges after a night-time attempt by Chinese forces to grab territory in the area. The Chinese Embassy has said India's move has "grossly violated China's territorial sovereignty, and that these military moves have damaged peace and tranquility along China-India border areas." India insists that the actions are defensive and pre-empted an aggressive Chinese move to push in forces into this region.
