Relevance:\u00a0 India and China bilateral relation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Context: The article discusses the bilateral relation between China and India and the steps that India can take to counter China.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been just over two years since Galwan. Since then, India-China relations have deteriorated significantly.<\/p>\n

What are the differences between Galwan and earlier clashes between China and<\/strong> India?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The earlier clashes were accidental in nature but in Galwan the Chinese side has undertaken the operation in a planned, pre-determined, well thought out way.<\/p>\n

The number of troops involved on both sides was much higher than in the earlier cases.<\/p>\n

By bringing such large military strength to the India-China border areas, PLA has violated all preceding agreements by bringing such large military strength to the India-China border areas.<\/p>\n

What were the reasons behind Galwan clash?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

There were two reasons: tactical and strategic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The tactical reason was<\/strong> that China wanted to have actual control over the territory which they were claiming.<\/p>\n

They have also been able to eliminate the situation where both armies would patrol areas of overlapping claims.<\/p>\n

The strategic reason was that China wanted to show India, to other Asian countries and to nations across the globe that China is the most powerful nation in Asia.<\/p>\n

What steps can be taken by India to counter China?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

India needs to urgently enhance defence spending especially over the next three to five years.<\/p>\n

India cannot accept the change in status quo in eastern Ladakh and if there is no peace on the border, the rest of the India-China relationship cannot continue.<\/p>\n

Few steps taken by India against China are \u2013 Chinese firms were kept out of 5G trials, Chinese apps were banned and FDI rules were changed for neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n

Can China disengage and de-escalate at the LAC in eastern Ladakh?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

There has been disengagement in certain sectors but not yet in all sectors of the border in Ladakh.<\/p>\n

China has not indicated any desire to de-escalate.<\/p>\n

What can be the further course of action for India? <\/strong><\/h5>\n

India has to be strategically patient and build up strength.<\/p>\n

A fast-paced GDP growth will reduce the asymmetry between India and China.<\/p>\n

India must continue balancing Chinese power by further beefing up our strategic partnerships with Japan, France, the US, Australia and other similar countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
