China and its Expansionist Goals:Finger 4 to 8-Claim over Arunachal Pradesh- Doklam Crisis-issues of SARS-CoV-2- India-China Relations

 It Seems Like China is Trying to Apply 'Hit and Trial' Technique for its Long Term Expansionist Goals 

After Ninth Round of Corps Commander Level Talks which took nearly 16 hours, that was not only channel for Diplomatic Talks, both the Countries even held Defence Minister, Foreign External Affair Minister Talks to ease the tensions, which broke out during last summer at LAC. In this Article, you may going to have a idea on how China throw its Hegemonic and Expansionist Policy toward India.

As we all know, India shares more than 4,000 km boundary with China. Right from Independence of India from the Colonial regime, boundary dispute was a major issue between these two Countries. The military Stand-off between India and China at Galwan Valley that resulted in the death of 20 Indian soldiers, it became the most recent point of Inflection in the relations. More specifically, India previously patrolled on foot up to Finger 8, since there is no motorable road access from India's side to areas east of Finger 4. On the other hand, China has dominated up to Finger 4, having already built a road there and enjoying superior logistics. The boundary Crisis began when Chinese troops prevented India from reaching Finger 8. Now, both the Countries decided to disengage from Pangong Tso Lake area and reports has suggested that Tanks, Armored elements are being withdrawn but troops to be remain there. Technically, this means Chinese troops will return to their base at Sirijap, east of Finger 8, and Indian troops will return to their permanent base at Dhan Thapa post, at Finger 3. This has made the entire contested area from Finger 4 to 8 as a buffer zone. This step from both the sides is the first phase of disengagement. 

In my opinion, this is just an another tactics of China, since Beijing has applied this 'Hit and Trial' tactic previously, first example to prove my argument, China's claim over Arunachal Pradesh without having any effective control over it, Beijing issued repeated concerns when Indian Leaders visit the state, but when India objected against such comments, they retreat back toward neutralization. Second example, in 2010, China was issuing stapled visas to Indian citizens from former state of J&K, Indian Govt Raised concerns, they stopped such Visas. Third example, Doklam Crisis, Chinese Army tried to built a strategic road in the Tri-Junction, but Bhutan has claimed the Sovereignty over the area, India objected the construction that resulted into a face-off between Troops of both the Countries, to normalize the situation, China halted the construction. Fourth Example, UN enlisting of Pakistani based terrorists, Beijing always tried to put a speculation on the issue and provided hindrances in the enlisting. Fifth example, Due to carelessness and delayed action to curb SARS-CoV-2, which later converted into Global pandemic and devastated huge lives and Livelihoods of millions of people all across the Globe, despite such inactivity, in virtual summit at Davos, Chinese President Mr. Xi. warned the World of commencing 'New Cold War'. Now it is up to you- whether my arguments are really logical or not!!
