The two countries face an immediate crisis as Chinese state media threatened to “be ready for war” following a fire on the China-India border after 45 years on the China-India border. As the two countries increased their power across the border, special forces of asylum seekers were stationed and even ‘Unwoldo’ appeared.
The Global Times, run by the Chinese state, said in a comment on the 9th that “China does not want to wage war with India, but is fully prepared for war”, arguing that “India should not continue to provoke or misjudge the situation”. “The current situation is similar to the border war of 1962,” he said. “At that time, India also misunderstood that it could beat China.” At that time, more than 3,000 Indian soldiers died in the war and Chinese casualties were only a few.
Earlier, a spokesman for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army issued a statement on the night of the 7th and demanded punishment for those involved, saying: “The Indian army has launched a threat against the Chinese army.” The Indian army immediately issued a rebuttal statement, insisting that “the Chinese army first fired a gun into the air.” Although the arguments of both sides are mixed, it seems that there was a shooting. It is the first time in 45 years that the two countries officially confirm a shooting. China and India signed an agreement in 1975 and banned the carrying of firearms at the border to avoid accidental situations.
The conflict between the two countries escalated after 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a conflict in Ladakh province in June. Although China and India are nuclear weapon countries, they are armed with iron bars or spears or are sending separate special forces to avoid breaking the agreement on the ban on carrying weapons first.
On the 9th, Indian media such as NDTV published related photos, saying that the Chinese army was armed with a weapon that can only be seen in the Middle Ages. In the photo, the Chinese soldiers carried not only a club and a spear, but also a sword called ‘Eonwoldo (偃月刀). Eonwoldo is also called ‘Gwando’ because it was used by Guan-wu, the head of the Chok dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. In early June, when the Chinese Army engaged in close combat with the Indian Army, they used a stick on a stick.
It is known that Indian troops deployed special forces (SFF) made up of Tibetan exiles to the border to counter those Chinese forces. According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP), on the 29th of last month, Indian troops mobilized the SFF to drive Chinese troops out of Lake Pangong, on the border with China. SFF consists of Tibetan asylum exiles living at an altitude of 4000 m, and is highly adaptable to this area. Furthermore, there is great hostility towards China, which has occupied Tibet by force. Initially, the Indian government did not commit to the conflict with China, fearing that the SFF members would not be able to suppress their emotions and exacerbate the situation. However, when the border situation worsened, SFF was finally put to use.
The two countries, China and India, continue their confrontation with the ‘strong river’ by increasing their troops, such as armored tank vehicles, to the current border area. China sent its latest stealth fighter, the Zen-20, to the air base closest to the border, and India deployed France’s five Rafal fighters in July on the border with China.
