China Fuels Fresh LAC Tension

NEW DELHI: If the continuing standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh wasn’t bad enough, aggressor China is now blaming India for what it calls aggressive posturing. The Chinese foreign ministry has again asked for the border dispute not to be linked to the overall bilateral ties, something that India doesn’t agree to. In this edition of ‘The Gist’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale and former Northern Army Commander Lt Gen. DS Hooda (Retd) discuss the implications of the new Chinese stunt and its bearing on overall ties.
