The Galwan Valley stand-off

Disengagement and de-escalation are the only options for China and India for peace and development.

India and China have a history of border conflict. The last Sino-Indian clash before 2020 was in 2017 in the Doklam region. It was a three-month-long stand-off between the two armies from June to August. The most recent military confrontation between the two countries was witnessed in the Galwan Valley in June 2020. The Galwan valley face-off was, however, not the end of the conflict. China reportedly moved in 20 martial art trainers from the Enbo Fight Club to the Tibetan plateau to train its forces, three weeks after the clash. The martial art fighters have been employed to help with border patrol and special forces. However, there is some ambiguity as to which border area have they been deployed to; some suggest that the fighters were reinforced near the Indian border.
