#ChinaIndiaFaceoff: #China & #India finally decided to pull back their forces 1.5 kilometers from the Line of Actual Control ( #LAC) following last month’s lethal non-armed clash in the #GalwanValley. [1]

Disengagement move is being misportrayed by some #Indian media as a “Chinese retreat” when in reality it’s anything but since both countries are simultaneously disengaging their forces instead of this just being a unilateral Chinese move. [2]

Indian public has been indoctrinated with jingoistic propaganda. The perception situation has gotten so out of control, #India can’t possibly acknowledge actual facts anymore, lest thy spread completely false notion that India is a “superpower“. [3]

With this false view of their country in mind, there’s no way that they’d accept #India withdrawing from 1.5 km of territory that they’ve consistently claimed as their own, especially not after fake news circulated that Chinese casualties were 5x more than India’s last month. [4]

Masses will discover the truth sooner, hence why PM #Modi made his highly publicized trip to #GalwanValley last week. This took place against the backdrop of the successful discussions between both sides over the mutual disengagement decision. [5]

#China established firm control over the disputed #GalwanValley, but pulling back for the sake of de-escalation following #India’s decision to do the same was meant to cushion the domestic “soft power” blow to #Modi’s BJP. China won again over diplomatic front. [6]

China has millennia of diplomatic experience & appear to believe that this was a necessary move in order to slow the pace of #India’s pro-American pivot since it seems almost impossible to reverse. India will continue to make progress on economically “decoupling” from #China. [7]

The struggling Indian economy simply couldn’t survive the systemic shock of immediately cutting itself off from Chinese trade and investments, which would also have harmed the Chinese one as well even if not to anywhere near the same extent. [8]

Bottom lines is the mutual disengagement decision represents the onset of a cold peace (Short-Lived) in the New Cold War between #China & #India. China accepts that India already made its choice to become the #US’ proxy in “containing” China. [END]
