India and China failed to make headway in further resolving the 17-month-long standoff in eastern Ladakh during the 13th Corps Commander level talks held Sunday, with People’s Liberation Army (PLA) refusing to disengage from the Hot Springs area, Depsang Plains and Demchok besides overall de-escalation, reported ABC news. The 13th round of corps commander-level talks between India and China on the confrontation in eastern Ladakh has failed, with both sides blaming each other of not providing mutually beneficial proposals. The Indian side, led by the 14 Corps Commander Lt Gen P.G.K. Menon stuck to its stand during the meeting, which began at 10:30 am and ended at 7 pm at Moldo meeting point on the Chinese side. “It is our expectation that the Chinese side will take into account the overall perspective of bilateral relations and will work towards early resolution of the remaining issues while fully abiding by bilateral agreements and protocols,” the Army said. The military talks were held a day after Army Chief Gen M.M. Naravane said that if “it means that they (PLA) are there to stay, we are there to stay too”. The Chinese statement from Senior Colonel Long Shaohua of the Western Theatre Command said: “China’s determination to safeguard its sovereignty is unwavering, and China hopes India will not misjudge the situation.” General Naravane had Saturday said it is difficult to understand why China triggered the standoff “but whatever it might have been, I do not think they have been able to achieve any of those because of the rapid response done by the Indian armed forces”. Indo-Chinese Conflict China and India have been engaged in a border confrontation in the western section of the two countries border since May 2020, highlighted by a clash in the Galwan Valley in June 2020, leading to 20 deaths on the Indian side and four on the Chinese side. After many rounds of military and diplomatic talks over the past year to resolve the issue, some periodical achievements were reached, including the disengagement in locations like the Pangong Tso. A full disengagement is yet to be realized. Sunday’s meeting took place over two months after the last round of negotiations that resulted in the disengagement of troops from Gogra (Patrol Point-17A). The resolution in Gogra had marked both sides backing down in four of the six flashpoints – the others being Galwan and North and South banks of the Pangong Lake. The standoffs in Depsang and Hot Springs continue. Each side reportedly has around 50,000 troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Indian and Chinese troops were engaged in a brief face-off near Yangtse in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh around 10 days ago and it was resolved within a few hours following talks between commanders of the two sides as per established protocols. On August 30, nearly 100 People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers reportedly transgressed the LAC in Uttarakhand’s Barahoti sector and returned from the area after spending a few hours. Sino-Indian Military Talks and Results The latest round of talks over the 17-month standoff in Ladakh was held in Moldo-Chushul border meeting point on Sunday morning around 10.30 am. It ended around 7 in the evening. Ahead of the meeting, there were expectations that the two sides could at least agree to completing the stalled troop disengagement at Patrol Point-15 (PP-15) in the larger Hot Springs-Gogra-Kongka La area in a phased manner. In a statement released on Monday, the Chinese PLA Western Theater Command accused India of making “unreasonable and unrealistic demands, adding difficulties to the negotiations.” Eyeing the overall situation in the China-India relations and the relations between the two countries’ militaries, China has made tremendous efforts to ease and cool down the border situation and fully demonstrated its sincerity, said Senior Colonel Long Shaohua in the statement. “Instead of misjudging the situation, the Indian side should cherish the hard-earned situation in the border areas.” During the talks, China and India discussed further troop disengagement in the region, but as the Chinese statement suggests, India attempted to push China to make concessions to only India’s favor, which is inappropriate from China’s consideration of safeguarding sovereignty, territorial integrity and security, Qian Feng, director of the research department at the National Strategy Institute at Tsinghua University, told the Global Times on Monday. If India ignores China’s stance displayed in the latest talks, continues or even aggravates its aggressions without changing itself, the possibility of another accident or conflict could arise, Qian added. “India has been conspiring to seize territories along the border, and it likely demanded for Chinese territories or unreasonable troop deployment along the LAC. It’s a very aggressive move and compared with China’s attempts to reach mutual accommodation, India is totally against the practical needs of both sides to manage difference,” Song Zhongping, another Chinese military expert, claimed. India also indicated the talks had failed and released its statement on Monday morning which said that the meeting “did not result in resolution of the remaining areas.” The Indian side claimed that the situation along the LAC had been caused by China’s “unilateral attempts to alter the status quo and in violation of the bilateral agreements.” “During the meeting, the Indian side […] made constructive suggestions for resolving the remaining areas but the Chinese side was not agreeable and also could not provide any forward-looking proposals. The meeting thus did not result in resolution of the remaining areas,” an Army statement said. “The two sides have agreed to maintain communications and also to maintain stability on the ground. It is our expectation that the Chinese side will take into account the overall perspective of bilateral relations and will work towards early resolution of the remaining issues while fully abiding by bilateral agreements and protocols,” it added. © GDC and www.globaldefensecorp.com.

भारत-चीन सीमा विवादः लद्दाखमा फेरि तनाव बढेको सङ्केत, चिनियाँ सैनिकले सहमति उल्लङ्घन गरेको भारतको आरोप काठमाडौं । भारतले चिनियाँ सैनिकहरूले पूर्वी लद्दाखमा सीमाबारे गरिएको एउटा सहमति उल्लङ्घन गरेको आरोप लगाएको छ । चिनियाँ पक्षले उत्तेजक सैन्य गतिविधि गर्दै सीमामा विद्यमान स्थिति परिवर्तन गर्ने प्रयास गरेको तर आफ्नो सेनाले त्यसलाई विफल पारिदिएको दाबी भारतले गरेको छ । भारतीय सूचना विभागले प्रकाशित गरेको विज्ञप्तिमा भारतीय सेनाले आफू संवादमार्फत् शान्ति कायम गराउने पक्षमा भएको तर उक्त क्षेत्रलाई अखण्ड राख्न प्रतिबद्ध भएको उल्लेख छ । चीनका विदेशमन्त्रीले चिनियाँ सेनालले सीमा रेखा पार नगरेको र दुवै देशका सेनाबीच संवाद कायम रहेको बताएको ग्लोबल टाइम्स पत्रिकाले लेखेको छ । गत जुन महिनामा भारत र चिनियाँ सैनिहरूबीच गलवान उपत्यकामा भिडन्त हुँदा कम्तीमा २० भारतीय सैनिकको मृत्यु भएको थियो । चीनले आफ्नो पक्षमा कति जना हताहत भए भन्ने सार्वजनिक गरेको छैन । दुवै पक्षले एकअर्कालाई सीमा उल्लङ्घन गरेको र उक्साएको आरोप लगाएका थिए। के भएको हो ? अगस्ट २९ गते राति पाङ्गोङ त्सो तालको दक्षिणी किनारमा चिनियाँ पक्षले गर्न खोजेको गतिविधि भारतीय सेनाले तुहाइदिएको दिल्लीको दाबी छ । भारतीय सेनाका अनुसार चीनको पीपल्स लिबरेशन आर्मीले सीमामा यथास्थिति फेर्न खोज्दा सतर्क भारतीय सैनिकहरूले त्यसो गर्न दिएनन् । अहिले पूर्वी लद्दाखमा ठूलो सङ्ख्यामा चिनियाँ सैनिकहरू भएको बताइन्छ । भारतीय पक्षले आफू शान्तिवार्ताका लागि प्रतिबद्ध भएको तर आफ्नो भौगोलिक अखण्डताको रक्षा पनि गर्ने विज्ञप्तिमा उल्लेख गरेको छ । भारतले सीमामा भएको विषयबारे विज्ञप्ति निकाल्नुलाई विश्लेषकहरूले सीमामा शान्ति भङ्ग भइसकेको सङ्केतका रूपमा लिएका छन् । तनावको कारण के हो ? भारत र चीनबीच ३,५०० किलोमिटर लामो सीमा छ । उनीहरूबीच सीमाबारे विवाद पनि छ । सीमासम्बन्धी विवादकै कारण सन् १९६२ मा भारत–चीन युद्ध भएको थियो । जुनमा भएको घटनापछि दुई पक्षबीच शान्ति कायम गर्न धेरै चरणमा वार्ताहरू भए । तर तनाव अझै बाँकी छ । केही समययता विभिन्न कारणले दुई देशबीच तनाव बढेको छ। तर तीमध्ये दुवै पक्षका रणनीतिक लक्ष्यलाई मूल कारण मानिएको छ । दुवैले विवाद बढ्नुमा एकअर्कालाई दोषारोपण गर्ने गरेका छन् । द्वन्द्व बढे दुर्गम लद्दाखको सीमावर्ती क्षेत्रमा भारतले निर्माण गरेको नयाँ सडकबाट भारतीय पक्षले जनशक्ति र सामग्री शीघ्र पठाउन सक्ने विश्लेषकहरूको भनाइ छ । उक्त क्षेत्रमा भारतले भौतिक पूर्वाधार बनाउने निर्णय गरेपछि चीन आक्रोशित भएको हुनसक्ने विश्लेषकहरूको धारणा छ । विवादबारे के भन्छन् भारतीय अधिकारीहरू ? गत साता भारतका विदेशमन्त्री एस जयसङ्करले चीनसँगको वास्तविक नियन्त्रण रेखामा सन् १९६२ पछि अहिले सबैभन्दा गम्भीर तनाव उत्पन्न भएको बताएका थिए । पैँतालीस वर्षपछि चीनसँग सङ्घर्ष हुँदा सैनिकहरू हताहत भएको भन्दै उनले सीमामा दुवै देशका सैनिकहरू परिचालित हुनु अप्रत्यासित भएको टिप्पणी गरेका थिए । “विगत तीन दशकलाई हेर्दा विवादहरूको समाधान राजनीतिक संवादको माध्यमबाट भएको छ। अनि अहिले पनि हामी त्यही प्रयास गर्दैछौँ,” उनको भनाइ थियो। यसअघि भूतपूर्व सेनाप्रमुख बिपिन रावतले दुई देशबीच वार्ता भइरहेको अनि त्यसबाट विवाद समाधान नभए सैन्य विकल्प भएको बताएका थिए । भारतले चिनियाँ पक्षले यथास्थिति बहाल गर्नुपर्ने र भारतीय क्षेत्रबाट चिनियाँ सैनिकहरू फर्किनुपर्ने बताउँदै आएको छ । गत साता भारतीय विदेश मन्त्रालयका प्रवक्ताले चिनियाँ सेना फर्किए स्थिति सामान्य हुनसक्ने बताएका थिए ।बीबीसी नेपाली
