Chinese Military Will Not Fire the First Shot, Beijing Stated to the US
Tensions between China and the United States escalates as the two countries respectively start military operations frequently at the South China Sea. The South China Morning Post, citing a source, stated that Beijing clearly commanded the People’s Liberation Army not to fire the first shot, seemingly in an attempt to cool down the situation.
The report indicated that Beijing did not want to give an excuse for the War Hawks in Washington to further raise the tensions among the two countries. Beijing also ordered Chinese pilots and Chinese naval to remain restraint in a recent and frequent stand-off with US military fighter aircraft and fleets.
American carrier battle groups, the USS Nimitz and the USS Ronald Reagan, carried out drills in the South China Sea last month, as well as rare nighttime aerial reconnaissance missions near Guangdong and Fujian provinces. As for China, it conducted naval drills and flyover missions around Taiwan and the South China Sea.

US Defense Report: Chinese Military Catching Up with US. Armed Police Likely Deployed In Response to HK Protests
US Department of Defense published the latest China Military Power Report estimating that China's nuclear warheads will at least double in the next decade. China's military power has already caught up with or even surpassed the US in several domains.
According to the report, the leaders of CCP regard a divided China as a weak China. To achieve national rejuvenation, a "full reunification" is necessary. This includes unifying Taiwan on Beijing's terms and integrating Hong Kong and Macau by 2049. By extension, it is necessary to build a "world-class" army to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, and rewrite international order through strengthening national power, so China can strategically compete with the US. At present, China's conventional missile force has surpassed the US. China also has the largest navy and integrated air defense systems in the world. For example, the PRC Navy has 350 ships and submarines, but US military has only 293 ships and submarines as of the beginning of 2020.
The DoD estimates China currently has more than 200 nuclear warheads. It is expected that with the expansion and modernization of the PLA's nuclear weapons, the number will at least double in the next ten years; land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that can threaten the US will increase to about 200 in five years.
The People's Armed Police (PAP) probably deployed to HK
The report further notes that "in August 2019, the PLA HK and Macau garrisons conducted an annual rotation of forces. In HK, PLA and probably People's Armed Police (PAP) forces deployed into HK by land, air and sea from Shenzhen at night, however, no forces were observed rotating out of HK. The PRC's troop rotation announcement in 2019 did not include a statement that PLA troop and equipment levels remain unchanged. Throughout the months of protests, PAP and PLA units have been publicly highlighting their anti-riot, counterterrorism, and disaster prevention training."

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.
