Command prophet after the unproductive 13th round of old military commanders meeting on Sunday to dwindle situation in East Ladakh is reflective of the overall Chinese fight towards its perceived adversaries with dragon breathing fire from Indo-Pacific to Ladakh.
The PLA statement called Indian propositions forde-escalation as “ unreasonable and unrealistic” and sermonized to Indian Army that they should be satisfied with what has been achieved till now without getting farther militarily ambitious. Constitutionally, it means that the PLA is in no mood to normalise the situation along the 1597-km Ladakh LAC as it asks the Indian Army to recognize the same bilateral border agreements that the Chinese army itself forgot by unilaterally executing the May 2020 transgressions in Galwan, Pangong Tso, Gogra and Hot Springs The PLA statement is in line with its Central Military Commission Chairman Xi Jinping’s aggressive statements to take over popular Taiwan in the name of reunification. From Chinese civil day on October 1 to Taiwan civil day on October 10, the PLA air force tested Taipei’s beleaguered defence by flying additional than 56 fighters and nuclear competent bombers on a single day to brow- beat the popular bitsy Isle nation.
Although Chinese belligerency is hourly a combined function of its domestic and foreign situation, the unusual aggression from Beijing comes after AUKUS pact on September 15 which allows Australia to get nuclear submarines from US and UK, the Quad crescendo on September 24 and the high intensity martial exercises between Quad consorts and between US-UK armadas in the Indo-Pacific. Add to this the failing Chinese real estate dinosaur and energy conjuncture, we get a really potent amalgamation. The PLA aggression on Ladakh in May 2020 also came after Beijing was hit widely for keeping the deadly coronavirus, which has origins in Wuhan, under wraps in cahoots with the WHO leadership. Two spaces after the infection broke in Wuhan, nearly five million have crashed and the world has lost trillions in moneymaking disturbance. This is without yea counting the societal impact and interior trauma the world had to go through and is still going through
With US military power coming under question after Pakistani ISI backed Sunni terrorist force, the Taliban, militarily seized Kabul on August 15, the Chinese aggression now matches of an abandoned superpower who isn’t willing to yield an inch that it perceives its own. Beijing’s information warfare also matches its character- declared superpower status with political fires being lit in environs of republic opposing Chinese Communist Party’s aggression through media and news aggregators. Combine this with the military psy-ops banded out routinely by Chinese propaganda media, the global perception of Beijing is several notches above than its concrete capabilities.
Given that the Chinese cyber and automatic intelligence capabilities, yea by recent admission ofex-Pentagon’s software specialist, exceed the US capabilities, India must be prepared for added aggression from Beijing as the bottommost won’t let up in pressure. It’s time that the Indian braced forces understood that the future wars will be won in cyberspace accompanied with dais-off armaments rather than intricate land assaults by tanks or ranks. The air wars will be fought with swam drones and braced unmanned platforms, which the PLA has in large arithmetic, rather than manned fighters which will be chased by Chinese acquired S-400 fired exterior to air ammunitions. The blue will be ruled by nuclear submarines and unmanned blue drones mapping the abysms rather than behemoth aircraft carriers which can be targeted by Chinese ballistic boat killer ammunitions. With US leading the way, India needs to garner its massive software faculty to fabricate up exceptionable and protective cyber defence capabilities or the battle will be over yea before it starts.
In fact, the Indian geographical situation is resembling that no country can avoid its pertinence and salience when it comes to China or to Af-Pak terrorism. While it has deep strategic ties with US, India also has a really close relationship with Russia and France. It’s a voice of credibility in Saudi Arabia and UAE, two of its closest supporters in Middle East. It’s India that can bridge the current gap between France and US over Australia preferring American nuclear submarines by cancelling the order of French raised diesel attack platforms and cement over the division within self-rule While Beijing prescribes an independent foreign policy ( readanti-US) for India, it’s the PLA which is pushing India towards a corner by its aggression and military architecture development along the 3488 km LAC. Yea the so- called strategists talk about India staying out from US as the right path to pacify China. Close, in fact, is the only counter to Chinese numero uno plans.
