Modi, making his first trip to the Ladakh region since the Indian army lost 20 troops in a clash with Chinese soldiers last month, said his country’s commitment to peace should not be seen as a sign of weakness

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi gestures as he speaks to troops during his visit to Nimu, in the union territory of Ladakh, on July 3, 2020.India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi flew on Friday into the northern border region where Indian and Chinese troops are locked in a standoff, and said the military stood ready to defend his country.

Modi, making his first trip to the Ladakh region since the Indian army lost 20 soldiers in a clash with Chinese soldiers last month, said his country’s commitment to peace should not be seen as a sign of weakness.“Today India is becoming stronger, be it in naval might, air power, space power and the strength of our army. Modernization of weapons and upgradation of infrastructure has enhanced our defence capabilities multifold,” he said in a speech to soldiers near Leh, the regional capital.

China says the whole of the Galwan valley where the clash occurred is its territory and that it was front line Indian troops that had breached the border, which is not demarcated.Spokesman Zhao Lijian, responding to a question about Modi’s visit to the border region, said both sides were in communications through diplomatic and military channels to ease the situation.

The most serious crisis on the India-China border in years has erupted while Beijing is embroiled in disputes over the South China Sea, Taiwan and its tightening grip over Hong Kong, which have all fanned fears of an expansionist policy.Modi referred to expansionism in his speech to soldiers, saying it caused problems.

Shades of Tibet...inch by inch. Don’t think Modi will go quietly! Good for him because the UN will not risk losing it’s big financial backing!

After attacking japnese ships, Philippines fisheries, Vietnamese boats, Taiwan sovereignty, Hongkong killings, Tibetans freedom, Australia panicked china finally in front of the serious neighbour 😂😂

Stand up and protect your interests. Only way to treat a bully is to show you are not afraid.

That's rich. Maybe China could chill with their neighbourly aggression?
