In a major breakthrough related to the four-and-a-half-years of military standoff along the LAC, after the Chinese incursions in eastern Ladakh, India and China have agreed to restore patrolling rights in the Depsang Plains in the north and Demchok in the south of Ladakh. This agreement comes after several meetings (31 so far) were held by the WMCC (Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China Border Affairs), 21 rounds of India-China Corps Commander Level Meetings, as well as multiple meetings between the two Foreign Ministers in order to ease tensions, narrow down the differences and find early resolution of the outstanding issues. It is noteworthy, since May 2020, Indian and Chinese troops have had multiple confrontations in the seven friction points in the eastern Ladakh - Galwan Valley (PP 14), Hot Springs (PP 15), Gogra (PP 17A), North and South banks of Pangong Tso, Depsang Plains and Charding Nullah in Demchok region. According to both EAM and Foreign Secretary, disengagement has happened at all the friction points, leading to pre-2020 status quo in the region. As per reports, overall deployment of troops along the LAC will be ‘thinned down’ in due course. The arrangement assumes greater significance since it comes just ahead of the 16th BRICS Summit, scheduled to be held in Kazan, Russia, on October 22-23, where Indian PM Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to hold bilateral talks on the sidelines of the two-day summit. Calling the development a ‘positive and good’ one, EAM S. Jaishankar emphasized the outcome as a product of “very patient and persevering diplomacy”. After all, only peace and stability along the border will lead to growth and prosperity in the two countries.

[@jaydeepgadhavi5465]

Aksai Chin was always under Tibetans control and Aksai Chin belongs to Tibet forever.... 4) Indira Gandhi annexed Sikkim in 1975 by using Indian Military forces.

This is a good outcome but India cannot let the guards down. This significantly increases the defense cost of India as India needs to maintain its posture both LOC & LAC. We should remember had China not faced economic softness they would not have come to this conclusion. They have also ensured India is not going to become a pseudo NATO member by putting Canada against India.

It could also mean both India , China has completed patrolling and territory completely mapped out with their large AI powered UAV fleet. Looks like standoff is not necessary and can remotely manage unmanned . Move on to stage 2 . Didn't India rent drones from US for the same ?

If this is a success only for india, why isn't the govt doing the usual chest thumping

[@vaimurthy]

Because in geopolitics sometimes you should not do that. This government knows that well

Dumb Question: Before 1962, was the entire Aksai Chin mainland was an integral part of India? Did our loss in the war lead to permanently losing that piece on the East?

[@sap268]

Short answer is yes. We lost Aksi Chin, and Pakistan ceded a lot of land to the Chinks

[@ranjith9656]

Short answer :yes Long answer: Entire ladakh claimed today by India was part of the territory historically inherited from british india. But since communist revolution and chinese capture of tibet china is trying to expand west to control rhe dominating heights by a technique called salami slicing Eg:If they want a point 5km inside,they will invade 10km inside and then after drama retreat to their originall desired 5km point and maintaining buffer in remaining 5km in name of disputed territory

More than 1500 days stand off , 22 rounds of discussion and now this decision. It means China has reduced tension on one border and after 2024 -25 winter China will go to its old gole of Taiwan.
