Urgent: China Moves 35 Miles Deeper Into India
By Epoch Times
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Two days ago more than 5,000 Chinese soldiers of China's People’s Liberation Army (PLA) intruded into five points in Ladakh – four along the Galwan River, and one near the Pangong Lake."
As of 3:30 PM EDT today (Tuesday, May 26) the Chinese Army has now begun pushing deeper into India territory from Ladakh and the India Army has responded by opening fire upon those Chinese troops with artillery!
Mobile Chinese medium range ballistic missile batteries near the Indian border detected by satellite to be preparing for launch.
Media blackout by both Indian and Chinese governments.
Situation is deteriorating quickly.
UPDATE -- China to evacuate citizens from India over "rising border tension." Beijing has asked citizens willing to return to China to register by the morning of May 27
Analysis from Intel Community:
China is making strategic moves first to capture resources; Venezuela, Iran, Tibet, Now India.
They won’t make the same mistake as Japan did before WW2. They are securing resources in advance.
Trump administration today made known it is willing to pay for U.S. companies to uproot their supply chains and bring them home from China ASAP.
Pentagon reports A pair of U.S. B-1 supersonic bombers fly over South China Sea Tuesday days after senior Pentagon official says Chinese fighter jets harassed U.S. aircraft 'at least 9 times' in the area since March.
Sending the military reinforcements, including troops, vehicles and heavy equipment, did not require much effort as China diverted the resources from an ongoing military exercise in the region, said one official.
India is tracking all aspects of the Chinese deployments and parity in troop numbers is being ensured, a second official says.
China’s state-run media has described the latest tensions as the worst since the 2017 Doklam standoff that lasted 73 days.
China is hemmed in: Russia to the North (Putin announced an alliance with the USA this month), the US to the east and south. India is also a US ally, and that covers the western borders of China. For China to attack either Russia or the USA would be suicide. Consequently, it appears China is going for the weakest link, which they perceive to be India. I think China is in for a rude awakening.
New Delhi: A Himalayan border standoff between old foes India and China was triggered by India’s construction of roads and airstrips in the region as it competes with China’s spreading Belt and Road Initiative, Indian observers said on May 26.
Soldiers from both sides have been camped out in the Galwan Valley in the high-altitude Ladakh region, accusing each other of trespassing over the disputed border, the trigger of a brief but bloody war in 1962.
About 80 to 100 tents have sprung up on the Chinese side and about 60 on the Indian side where soldiers are billeted, Indian officials briefed on the matter in New Delhi and in Ladakh’s capital, Leh, said.
Both were digging defenses and Chinese trucks have been moving equipment into the area, the officials said, raising concerns of a long face-off.
“China is committed to safeguarding the security of its national territorial sovereignty ….” the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson’s office said in a statement. “There are sound mechanisms and channels of communication for border-related affairs.”
There was no immediate Indian foreign ministry comment. It said last week Chinese troops had hindered regular Indian patrols along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
But interviews with former Indian military officials and diplomats suggest the trigger for the flare-up is India’s construction of roads and airstrips.
“Today, with our infrastructure reach slowly extending into areas along the LAC, the Chinese threat perception is raised,” said former Indian foreign secretary Nirupama Rao.
“Xi Jinping’s China is the proponent of a hard line on all matters of territory, sovereignty. India is no less when it comes to these matters either,” she said.
After years of neglect Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has pushed for improving connectivity and by 2022, 66 key roads along the Chinese border will have been built.
One of these roads is near the Galwan valley that connects to Daulat Beg Oldi airbase, which was inaugurated last October.
“The road is very important because it runs parallel to the LAC and is linked at various points with the major supply bases inland,” said Shyam Saran, another former Indian foreign secretary.
“It remains within our side of the LAC. It is construction along this new alignment which appears to have been challenged by the Chinese.”
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI, also known as One Belt, One Road) is a string of ports, railways, roads, and bridges connecting China to Europe via central and southern Asia and involving Pakistan—China’s close ally and India’s long-time foe.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. India is not our best friend, but much more so than China. Perhaps even more so since India is the enemy of Pakistan, who is DEFINITELY not our friend.

No, but I do have some extra ear protectors. We can watch the cannon fire and write patriotic songs.
