Three soldiers have become the first casualties in 53 years to result from a clash between nuclear-armed neighbours China and India. Indian government sources say no shots were fired but a physical fight broke out between the two sides, with soldiers using batons and throwing stones.

Three Indian soldiers have been killed in a "violent face-off" with Chinese troops on the disputed border, according to the Indian army.

India and China have been locked in a stand-off in the Galwan Valley in the western Himalayas for weeks, with both accusing each other of trespassing into the other's territory. "During the de-escalation process underway in the Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place yesterday night with casualties on both sides," the Indian army said in a statement.

Border guards have had skirmishes and even fistfights when patrols have confronted each other, but there has been no loss of life at the border since bloody clashes erupted in the eastern Himalayas in 1967.

Literally all its neighbors are in quarrel and confrontations with China! China kills us with chinavirus, it kills us by means of concentration camps and hkpolicebrutality. It kills us by direct military offense! Time for a combined military response.

I believe they are still pissed off with India for giving safe passage and asylum to Dalai Lama back in 1959. Especially allowing him to hold religious service in areas on the border with China which China claims is theirs. As those areas are predominantly Buddhists.

China’s warm-up war. Then Taiwan. Then Japan. Then the CSA.... Communist states of America (california & washington).

The Third World War is close to us !

Always fun when 2 nuclear powers go to war

China is a warmonger. They have release WuhanCoronavirus to the world. When is the rest of the world going to treat this regime like the way it should be. sanction China. Isolate it. DecouplefromChina

Uh oh.

It’s shame on China! No where happy neighbourhood to China! Be it South China Sea or be it on Indian border!

What is going on. Nth Korea blowing stuff up, the US is mayhem. Grateful for my quiet drama-free life down under

Nice pic.

No guns? Both sides used rocks and batons. Are you kidding? 😂😂😂

Good time to start National service for our unemployed and willing. Best be prepared I'll wager with the Chinese Government military movements towards Taiwan, India, Hong Kong and the seizure of islands and atolls in the Pacific Ocean..

So... when will we admit China is being more offensive these days?

Of course, this is the perfect time for India to DO IT

Are they fighting over indigenous Indian or indigenous Chinese lands?

“It’s not like they share a border.” - Donald Trump

I read the whole article-- it looks like a border dispute and misconceptions surrounding where the border stands on a stretch of land that is nothing but a high altitude barren desert without much or any inhabitants living there!

Filthy communist rats. China is the enemy of the world.

at least three, could be more

Dam American's, always meddling. 😀

2020 just keeps getting better!

China warms to idea of four more years of Trump in White HouseChina believes that the benefit of the erosion of America's postwar alliance network would outweigh any damage to China from continued trade disputes. This propaganda is just ridiculous now. Fire your intelligence assets and get back to proper journalism, . Of course they would. Trump is a joke. He is leading his nation to oblivion. Seeing the US threatening war with China, & has ringed them with military bases, only an idiot in their position would want 4 more Trump years. But unlike US, they don't do interference in other lands nytimes AJEnglish Why would enemies of the USA not want Trump? Divide and conquer. Trump is doing half of the enemy's work for them.

Australia ‘being punished’ by China as Australian man faces execution | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Australia “is currently being punished” by China for “daring to suggest the world needs an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19,” after Beijing announced an Australian man will face the death penalty after being found guilty of drug importation charges.\n\nKarm Gillespie was arrested in 2013 for drug trafficking charges, and was last week convicted and will now face the death penalty.\n\n“Gillespie has been in custody in China for seven years yet only now do we get clarity on charges, conviction and sentence,” Mr Kenny said.\n\n“China routinely executes more prisoners each year than any other country.\n\n“But there is little doubt that this latest sentence fits the pattern of trying to punish Australia.\n\n “This is just another insight into the political system we are dealing with.”\n\n Which ignorant Australian thought he could get away with importing drugs to China. He totally deserves it. Don't do illegal sh*t. I think it’s a matter for them. Not us.
