Chinese Defence Minister Blames India for Tension in Meeting with Counterpart, Says “Not an Inch of Chinese Territory to Lose”
The Sino-Indian conflict continues as India seized a Chinese stronghold in the Pangong Lake region and pushed 4km into the Chinese-controlled area at the end of last month. The Chinese defence ministry issued a press release a day after a meeting took place between the Chinese defence minister Wei Fenghe and the Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh in Moscow on 4 September. The release quoted Wei as saying that the relations between the two countries are deeply affected by the border dispute and that it is crucial for him and Singh to be honest in their face-to-face exchange. Wei said the cause of the situation and the truth are very clear, claiming that “the responsibility is entirely with India.” He emphasized that “there is not an inch of Chinese territory to lose” and that “the Chinese military is fully determined, capable, and confident to safeguard China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Wei said both sides should make the effort to solve the problem through dialogue. He expected India to strictly abide by the series of agreements the two countries have reached and to better manage the front-line troops. India, he added, should not engage in acts of provocation by crossing the current Line of Actual Control (LAC), take any actions that may add fuel to the fire, and try hyping negative stories. These are to de-escalate the situation as soon as possible and to maintain peace and tranquillity along the Sino-Indian border, he said.
The press release also quoted Singh as saying that peace and stability along the border is of utmost importance to China and India’s bilateral relations. Channels for military and diplomatic dialogue should be kept open at all levels, he added, and issues should be resolved peacefully through talks. He hopes that both sides will avoid taking actions that may escalate or complicate the situation. It is also hoped that the two countries will not turn differences into disputes and are committed to put their relations back on track as soon as possible.

India Blames Latest Conflict on China’s First Shot, PLA Soldiers Show up with Medieval Glaives in Standoff
Developments have taken place in the skirmish on the Indo-Chinese border near Pangon Lake in eastern Ladakh. India stated on 8 September that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China fired the first shot in the air in an attempt to menace frontline Indian troops on the Mukhpari peak. The Times of India quoted government sources as saying that the Indians also fired several shots in the air in response.
The latest confrontation started at around 6 pm on 7 September when Chinese soldiers tried to approach the Indian camp. Using loudspeakers and floodlights, the Indian troops asked them to fall back, only to meet with a shot in the air by the Chinese in an attempt to intimidate the Indians. The Indian military stressed in a statement that its soldiers had shown great restraint facing gross provocation and had acted maturely and responsibly.
The Times of India noted that the incident was still far from being a gunfight, adding that the PLA had not taken further actions after the initial shot. About 40 Chinese soldiers remained in a standoff with the Indians on the Mukhpari peak, which is over 18,000 feet above the sea level. Besides rifles, the the Chinese troops were also armed with such medieval weapons as rods, clubs, spears and even homemade glaives.

Five Missing Indian Youths Found in China and Repatriated, Chinese State Media Claims They Are “Intelligence Agents Disguised as Hunters”
Tensions between China and India remain high with five Indian young men reported to have been taken away by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China on 7 September. The Indian military confirmed on 12 September that the missing youths had been repatriated by the PLA and could return home after being quarantined for 14 days in India. Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of China’s state-controlled Global Times, said that the five were Indian intelligence agents disguised as hunters. He said the Chinese authorities had warned and educated them. Hu criticized India for aggressively ‘taking advantage’ of China in the border region and posing challenges to China’s strengthened control of its borders.
The Indian defence ministry’s public relations office in Tezpur, Assam tweeted that the five civilians had strayed across the Line of Actual Control (LAC). They had been returned by the PLA, they said, and would join their families after being quarantined for 14 days.
