Beijing is not going to withdraw its soldiers: Jayadeva Ranade

Live Mint  

It is highly unlikely that China will withdraw from any of the territory and will start demanding concessions from us, said Jayadeva Ranade, a former member of the National Security Advisory Board who has been tracking China for three decades. I don’t think the Chinese would have invested so much money and effort just to send a signal. Though External affairs minister S Jaishankar went to Beijing and explained nothing has changed on the international border, they think there is something up our sleeve. The number of defence exercises in the Tibetan plateau – both ground and air –has gone up lately, with regular references to India in the official media… what I would call the military media.
