China-India tension and CPEC

Author: Muhammad Mehdi

The recent military tensions between China and India are not an unforeseen event. While I am writing that this is not an unforeseen event, I do not mean that it does not matter. The significance is obvious, but what I mean is that this process on the Line of Actual Control continues and will continue. One of the main reasons for this is the growing relationship between China and Pakistan, the most important sign of which is the CPEC. Now the question arises as to where Pakistan came from in this whole conflict. If we look at the location of this conflict on a map and analyze the Indian actions taken there, it will be clear that the Indian military action is in fact a practical picture of the desire to keep the area at its target at all times. Ground contact of Pakistani and Chinese forces easily possible and that area is Ladakh and surroundings. Any kind of construction on this part of Ladakh that poses a threat to China-Pakistan relations is not acceptable to China at all. The reason for the recent tension is that the Indian sub-sector North ( SSN) is located east of the Siachen Glacier and in this area India feels that its defense infrastructure is very weak and since then it has been obsessed with gaining control of the area. Since then, he has been working to build infrastructure in the region that would pose a permanent threat to the infrastructure of China and Pakistan. Sub-sector North (SSN) is also important to India because it is the only area from which India has access to Aksai Chin. India began its military manifestation of its latest ambitions in 2007 when it began building roads of military importance there.

The first of these roads was built up to the sur la pass, but sur la pass Despite being built up to, it cannot be used by India for the whole year as the road is covered with a heavy snowfall during the snowy season and traffic is completely closed. India needs a tunnel to use it all year round. He wants to make it, but he can’t do it in practice. Apart from this, India has also built another road. It is a 255 km long road and its specialty compared to this other road is that it is available for transportation all the year round. The confluence of the Shyok and Gulwan rivers is only five kilometers from the Line of Actual Control. The current controversy started when India started construction of another road adjacent to this road. The second route to Aksai Chin is from the Chang Chenmo River valley to the south. Where the Indian army is only three kilometers away. India has also built a road here along the river chang cenmo and other roads adjacent to this road which gives it access to the ane la pass and this road remains open all year round. The rear of the Chinese army can be reached by Indian army through the Pangong River, Sririjap and Kharnak. the area ahead is known as the Fingers. In which India occupies up to Finger Four while it patrols its forces near Sirijap till Finger 8. The Chinese military post is on finger 8 but it declares the area up to finger 2 as its territory. It is also interesting for Pakistan that when the Kargil incident took place in 1999, China built a road up to Finger 5 at that time. In addition, Nigari is an important Chinese military base there, located just 50 kilometers from Demchok.

If we look at all these places, it will be clear that the sole purpose of Indian initiatives is to directly target the entire region, which has land links between Pakistan and China, whether economic or military. India to wants keep itself a constant threat to all of them. That is why in 2013, Chinese and Indian forces came face to face in the same places. China is well aware of these moves of India. He seems fully prepared to deal with it not only at the diplomatic level but also at the military level.

By the way, a study of the military history between China and India makes it clear to what extent China’s weight is heavy, but if we want to keep in mind China’s military readiness, we must first look at it from today. It goes back to the military exercises that China did fifteen years ago. In these military exercises, China visulised to attack india from aksai Chin and the sub-sector North With one division of army and a mechanized force. How can it be attacked? An impartial analysis of the situation reveals the fact that India has been creating problems in the region since the second decade of independence, but each time it has been defeated by China’s military might. ? In the last two decades, India has performed better economically, while the beloved homeland Pakistan has been besieged first by dictatorships and then by conspiracies against democracy. As a result, the growth rate of about 6% is going now in the low to the negative side. Under these circumstances, India has a chance to take position and in doing so, it wants to jeopardize C-Pack, the most important part of China’s BRI, and when China was only a military power, India was defeated by China In the past and now China has become an economic power also.
