Conflict Of Interest - India Against China - Chinese Recession From Ladakh - Chinese Dominance In South China Sea

CONFLICT OF INTEREST - CHINESE AGENDA ON LADAKH

China has a long term plan to dominate Ladakh and place India under scumbling pressure. Chinese incursion into Galwan is part of the strategy. Another part of the strategy is to place India and the Indian economy under continuous pressure. Their prime strategy was to malign the image of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and destabilize India. India defanged the venomous teeth of Chinese premier Xi Jinping. The first Indian army captured Rezang La and Rechin La. Chinese strategy screech to halt, as incompetent People Liberation Army fails to brooke the chilling condition of Ladakh and precipitate the withdrawal of Chinese force from point 8 of Galwan valley.

Narendra Modi's stern action creates a huge dent in the minds of Chinese strategy makers, resulting in the unilateral withdrawal of Chinese forces placed India in advantage position oin conflict of interest with China. India single-handedly boosts the morale of QUAD partners. The USA failed to curb China in the South China Sea, but India successfully endured the same in Galwan valley. All the QUAD partners USA, Japan, India and Australia need to work in tandem to block the Chinese incursion into the South China Sea and protect the interest of small countries like Vietnam, the Philippines and Taiwan. Chinese claims on various ridge, reefs, isle of the South China Sea which controls world economy, to satiate her old dogma that half of the world belong to Chinese kingdom. Recently USA stationed two of its aircraft carriers USA Nimitz and USA Ronald Reagan to blunt the Chinese aggression, which ultimately infuriated the Chinese hierarchy.

China failed to occupy important points of the Galwan valley and neither its strategy of "Salami slice" got the much-needed success. China is economically far superior to arch-rival India and thought that India would grind to fine powder by military onslaught into the porous border region, in Ladakh. On the day of 15th June 2020, PLA and Indian army locked horns with each other, which led to the death of 20 Indian soldiers and 45 Chinese soldiers (as per ANI reports). The conflict occurred on 5th May 2020, when the and Indian army engaged in a brutal hand to hand clash. Chinese soldiers used sharp-edged weapons against unarmed Indian soldiers, which led to the death of 20 Indian soldiers. Later Indian soldiers regimented themselves and frisked on numerically superior PLA. In the ensuing battle, the Chinese force failed to withstand the Indian army and 45 Chinese soldiers were killed, with most of the soldiers died with necks hanging around the soldiers. On the 7th of September 2020, for the first time, post-1962 war first shots were fired by the army of both sides. Both India and China media blamed each other for the kerfuffle. The PLA objected to the border road construction by India, which increased the accessibility of Indian forces to the border region during the critical period. China considers Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh as part of Tibet. Partial disengagement has occurred after a commander level meeting between PLA and the Indian army. Heavy troop build-up was observed followed by the clash. Both sides moved their tanks and heavy weapons on the border. The situation could escalate to full-scale war at any given moment. To undermine the Chinese dominance around the border area, the Indian army occupied REzang La, Rechin La, which stunned the Chinese army. PLA never expected that the Indian army would occupy the undisputed region on the borderline. Now Indian army could exploit the advantage of higher altitude and easily target the patrolling PLA.

It is well-known fact that the Indian army is numero uno in mountain and guerrilla warfare and the PLA is well aware of this dimension of the Indian army. According to the Chinese Communist Party's rule, it is mandatory for the Chinese young person must join the PLA. It is the Chinese army that inflated the image of their army which is a couple of times greater than the actual size. The Chinese army is low motivated due to the blob amount of remuneration which does not match with the hardship they need to endure on the Sino-Indo border. On the contrary, to join the Indian army Indian juveniles need to go through gruelling stages of the test, which is not applicable for their Chinese counterpart. Profuse corruption present in the rank and file of the PLA turned the Chinese army into a regimented force of low cohesive units. The Chinese army finds no reason to respect their superiors. Chinese government shows no respect to the fallen soldiers. On the other hand, the Indian government pays homage to the fallen soldiers. Young Chinese persons join PLA for four years of conscription to avail free education in future.

Conflict Of Interest - South China Sea And Chinese Strategy

Indian government should understand the importance of the South China Sea emerged as new zone of conflict of interest between US and China. To improve the trade relation with East Asian nations, the South China Sea plays an important role. Under Modi's stewardship, India took a new strategy of looking towards the east, which means enhance trade and maritime relations with East Asian nations. In the South China Sea, China plays a predominant role which corners the minnows like Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia. India wants to provide maritime security to those small nations, expands its influence in this region to counter China's growing influence in the Indian ocean. India already became a member of QUAD (November 2017) to deter the growing influence of China in the Indo-Pacific region. India's growing economic, military power will maintain the much-needed status-quo in this region.

Conflict Of Interest - Quad V/S China

The USA single-handedly can't deal with China. Other QUAD partners should lead a helping hand to boost the USA stand. China increased its naval power quite significantly for the last two decades and became the numero uno naval power within a decade. India needs to play a prime role in this critical situation. The South China Sea is not too far away from the Indian Ocean. India's aircraft carrier and submarines should venture into the South China Sea and conduct naval exercises with other QUAD partners. In this critical juncture, Narendra Modi's decision to abrogate article 370 and conduct a DDC election in Jammu and Kashmir raised quite a few eyebrows of Chinese hierarchy. China is scared about losing Aksai China, which is a very important part of the Chinese belt and road strategy. The abrogation of article 370 turned Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh an inalienable part of India. India's next strategy will be to recover POK, Aksai China which will crush the Chinese dream project CPEC.
