The way the expansionist China has been raising edifice along Indian border in Ladakh amidst border standoff between the two countries in eastern part of the UT there is dire need that India should adopt a multipronged strategy to tackle the situation which is critical and complex. In this context, Ladakh’s Chushul Councillor Konchok Stanzin has raised alarm over China installing three mobile towers very close to the Indian Border, days after the US voiced concern over Beijing’s construction of dual-use infrastructure along India’s border. The people’s representative from Chushul has tweeted that after completing the bridge over Pangong Lake, China has installed 3 mobile towers near China’s hot spring very close to the Indian Territory. Of course raising such kind of strategic edifice near border shows the Dragon nation’s bad intentions and make is important for India to quickly understand the motives behind this policy as already the country has faced many complicacies due to deceitful role played by the China which is the only country in the world having conflicts and issues with all its neighbouring countries over border demarcations. India must understand that China is not a weak country anymore as its name figures in the list of superpowers in the world and therefore tackling with China is a tedious job. The closeness of China with Pakistan is another issue which the country has to look very minutely as China’s anti-India activities have increased drastically since its unprovoked aggression in the Indian territories at Ladakh since April, 2020. China has helped Pakistan recently by providing half-dozen J-10CE fighter jets to reduce India’s advantage with the acquisition of Rafael aircraft. This is an all-weather multi-role 4.5-generation aircraft having capability to hit an adversary’s high value targets from beyond the visual range and launch precision attacks on ground targets. China is providing weapons to significantly boost Pakistan’s combat capabilities and help its military in meeting China’s shared security interests in the region. This on the other hand is crucial for India as the country’s western neighbour is becoming strong militarily raising the need to further bolster the defence of the country as things can escalate any time with enemies like China and Pakistan sitting on one side. To tackle all this, a multipronged strategy is must for the country to counter both the aforesaid countries effectively.
