Ladakh standoff: Clear view of why China isn't budging emerges

India Today  

Two weeks after the brutal clash in Ladakh's Galwan Valley, the situation remains tense at Patrol Point 14. To recap developments so far, the Chinese Army began building structures, including walls, tentage and infantry gun positions at the Galwan river bend on June 17 -- two days after the Galwan clash -- with the results of that effort first becoming visible on June 22. pic.twitter.com/O9Wqj1rb6e — Shiv Aroor June 24, 2020 Government and Army officials are clear that the positions seen at the bend in the Galwan River since June 22 are Chinese. While the Indian Army has mobilised more than adequately in frontline and support positions in the Galwan Valley, including mountain squads manning at least three vantage heights overlooking the river bend, it is something else that is compelling the Chinese to dig their heels in -- a concerted, dogged effort by the Indian side to complete infrastructure work. From bridges and culverts across the Galwan nearer to the confluence, including a bailey bridge built in record time following the bloodshed, the Indian side has made it openly clear to the Chinese that the Indian military will continue to execute infrastructure work, including the crucial highway into north Ladakh on the west bank of the Shyok River.
