The growing tension between India and China in the cross-border areas is unlikely to poured into a war between two nuclear powers. About this in a conversation with “Ribbon.ru” said Srikant Kondapalli, Professor of China in the University of Jawaharlal Nehru in New Delhi.
He recalled that during the last negotiations of India and China, it was not possible to come to the arrangement of troops in the Ladakh valley, and the countries only continued to increase their contingent along the so-called actual control line on the Indian-Chinese border. “It is difficult to assume any [local] clashes, since both parties have conducted a significant mobilization of troops,” Kondapally said. According to him, both countries mobilized tens of thousands of servicemen, and China has deployed an impressive military infrastructure in this region.
In addition, despite the fact that India and China declared that they would not use nuclear weapons first, the leadership of both countries warned that it would not exclude the use of ordinary types of strategic arms. The political analyst called the unlikely scenario, in which Delhi or Beijing will be solved on war, taking into account these circumstances.
previously became known that New Delhi placed the latest weapons acquired from the United States, on the Tavang Plateau, bordering Tibet. According to the media, the American production chinook helicopters are transferred to this area, ultralight M-777 muscles and SIG SAUER 716 assault rifles. It is assumed that all this is intentionally placed in Chinese borders to intimidate Beijing. On the same day, India successfully experienced an intercontinental ballistic missile that a number of observers regarded as a kind of warning to China.
Indo-Chinese conflict in East Ladakhkhe aggravated in May 2020, when bloody clashes occurred between the border guards of both countries. The border conflict of the two countries caused by the lack of a clear demarcation line continues from the 1950s. China does not recognize the so-called McMagon line that determined the border between the Tibet and the possessions of India. Both sides declare the illegal occupation of their lands.
