Hot News: India and Japan sign military alliance against China as world braces for war

Impressive Ma'am. India lost 20 troops, to include their Commander, during hand-to-hand combat in the Galvan Valley. In contrast and although China refused to admit, around 47 PLA troops were lost in the skirmishes, to include their Commander. India commands the heights around Galvan, Hot Springs and the Finger 4 at Pangong Tso; India is in a position of advantage now. China wants to end hostilities ante to 1959, when China advanced to the Shyok River Valley west of Leh-Ladakh before India chased the PLA to behind the LAC or the Macartney-Macdonald Line. In 1962, China retaliated giving China unchallenged access and control to Aksai Chin. China wants India to agree to a 1959 LAC, which is nonexistent and unacceptable to India or allow PLA to leave behind 50 troops on Finger 4 at Pangong Tso through the winter with assurance of their safety and security from India. India has rejected both of the Chinese options and nullified the Chinese narrative against India. India is prepared to hold its ground in eastern Ladakh to deny the PLA its desires to invade India. Actually, China wants unimpeded access through the Karakoram Pass to build the Karakoram Highway at India's expense driving India the way of Pakistan, Myanmar and Sri Lanka, so China control Asia and the Asia-Pacific region thus, making China much more powerful than the United States of America. This is my analysis Lt Col Charlie Brown.
