Standoff with China will be long, India warns in pulled statement
GUWAHATI, India: India’s defence ministry has warned, in a statement since removed from its website, that a military standoff with China that began with border fighting in June is likely to be a long one, despite multiple rounds of talks between the nuclear-armed rivals to defuse the tension.
The ministry said in an update for June – which has now been removed – that Chinese forces had breached the border in the Kugrang Nala and Gogra areas and the north shore of Pangong Tso lake in the northern Indian territory of Ladakh on May 17-18.
New Delhi says a “violent face-off” that followed the intrusion killed 20 of its soldiers in the western Himalayas.
It was the worst outbreak of violence between the giant Asian neighbours in decades. China accuses the Indian side of crossing the de facto border and provoking its soldiers.
“While engagement and dialogue at military and diplomatic level is continuing to arrive at mutually acceptable consensus, the present standoff is likely to be prolonged,” the Indian defence ministry said in the now-removed statement, which was posted to Twitter by ANI and others.
A ministry spokesman did not respond to a call and a text message asking for comment on the document.
Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi said the government was not being candid about the situation on the border, especially after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement in June that “nobody has intruded into our border, neither is anybody there now, nor have our posts been captured”.

“Forget standing up to China, India’s PM lacks the courage even to name them (Chinese),” Gandhi tweeted. “Denying China is in our territory and removing documents from websites won’t change the facts.” – Aug 8, 2020, Reuters
Bully wants to control the major source of water for South and South East Asia.
ReplyDeleteIndus River, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Irrawaddy, Chao Phraya, Mekong.....all have source in Himalayas.... Bully want to build dams here there everywhere but downriver poor people suffer.
But Bully still can not control their own river Yangtze, even with Three Gorges Dam still have major floods....
ccp used to say three gorges dam can prevent a once in a hundred years flood, recently change to once in a decade, now they revise it to every three years.

DeleteBully dams Mekong River, causing suffering downstream.....

Real blurred mfer to the dick!
DeleteThe two major rivers, Yellow River & Yangtze Jiang ALSO have their source in the Himalayan range!
China has NOT touched any water sources of the Indus River, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Irrawaddy, Chao Phraya, Mekong...etc etc at their origins.
R u spreading lies or u r just blurred turning irresponsible?
Mfer, with the current extreme rainy season if there is NO 3 Gorges Dam, the central plain of China would have face a once hundred year flood scene as reported in her historical record.
Do yr WASP nations r doing any better with their 'advanced' tech & innovations?
Ooop…… yes, yes… in yr wet dreams!
The 3 Gorges Dam CAUSES floods downstream, but you will never hear of it from either CCP controlled media or CCP cocksuckers.
DeleteWakakakakaka…
DeleteSo, old moneyed mfer has read "The 3 Gorges Dam CAUSES floods downstream" from yr China bashing propaganda from u know where!
AGAIN, who's the cocksuckers?
monster is right, u either make money from generate power, or u have flood, dam management with chinese kharacteristics.
DeleteThat's WHAT happened in yr beloved Formosa, right?
Deletetwn doing fine, us health secretary wan to learn from taiwanese how to stop wuhanvirus, us president beg tsmc to start a factory in usa, n taiwanese can now buy f35 to bomb ccp until crying mother.
DeleteYa-loh, trump sends him specially to Taiwan to learn the art of faking covid-19 statistic.
DeleteIt's live or death for his reelection chance.
Unfortunately, the dug-deep investigative approaches of the US presses ain't no 台毒水炮.
Trump would be disappointed for the truth!
So, what if tsmc built the most advance fab factory in US? Haven't u forgotten that whatever tsmc does NOW has nothing much to do with China?
If tsmc loses its biggest customer of Huawei, how much more money can it makes. From where it's going to squeeze more money to improve the fab manufacturing to 3nm? Ask Donald duck, right?
Dream on for that illusive F35 fighter lah. Even yr 蔡妹妹 wants to pay 10x more than Japan & RedDot.
With the ban of rare earth export, US military will want to keep as much Gen5 planes to themselves as possible. No rare earth, no more advanced military weaponry that yr uncle Sam so dependent on!
Ooop… F35 ke, J20 ke, or Sukhoi Su-57 ke, all these 5th Gen fighters have not been checkmated each other before. So what so loudmouthly superior about F35?
Maybe u r thinking more of the curry puffer's still on paper HAL AMCA! Wakakakakaka…
Crying father mother won't help too. Just like a 犬养 mfing bluff, wanted to use Russian S400 as an attacking missiles!
india is a third world country so shd reacted with a third world mentality like our hishammuddin, i see nothings wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteTo understand how India has come to this level of animosity with China, we must know that that country was handpicked by the US to be Groomed and Recruited years ago in order to contain China. This excellent article gave us an insight of what's really happening :

The Americans are quick to denounce Russia of meddling in their election process and has been bitching and whining about this after Trump took the seat in the Oval Office. But these very same Americans turned a blind eye to the DECADES of the US meddling in practically every country in the world and indeed we can see the hand of the CIA and the US Deep State in India vis-a-vis China.
ReplyDelete"Guess who thought that the CIA had turned into an American Gestapo ? Harry Truman, the US president who created the CIA....'Those fellows in the CIA don't just report on wars, they go out and make their own (wars), and there's nobody to keep track of what they're up to. They spend billions of dollars on stirring trouble. The CIA has become a government all of its own' "
Read here another excellent piece about the extent of the unmitigated evil CIA and the US Deep State had embraced, and nothing, absolutely NOTHING are beyond the pale for them :
