(EXPLAINED) India Vs China Controversy.

China and India move troops as border tensions escalate...

India has matched the China Army's deployment in terms of troops, capacity and resources in eastern Ladakh that is witnessing four simultaneous standoffs between the two armies. Tensions between China and India over their Himalayan border have escalated, with China accused of moving thousand of troops into disputed territory and expanding a military airbase in the region.
Thousands of Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops are reported to move into sensitive areas along the Eastern Ladakh Border, setting up tents, stationing vehicles, heavy machinery in what India considers to be its territory.

Context

China has moved two Brigade strength of People Liberation Army, over 6000 soldiers and support elements, at four locations in the Eastern Ladakh, three in the Galwan Valley and one near Pangong Lake. In response India had also moved an equal number of high altitude warfare troops to those areas "Operational alert areas" closer to the Line of Actual Control.

Why this??

China's actions appears to be a response to India's construction of roads and airstrips adjacent to the Line of  Actual Control (L.A.C.) which will improve connectivity and enable easier mobility for Indian troops in the area. It could be a territorial claim or part of a wider messaging to India that they need to be more mindful of China on sensitive Geopolitical issues.
Lt. General D S Hooda (retd) who was the Northern Army Commander during the 2014 standoff at Chumar, agrees "There is certainly an element of coercion in what the PLA is doing along L.A.C."

China's Action till date

According to Satellite footage published by the Indian News channel, there has been large scale construction work at a Chinese Military Airbase less than 120 miles from the border in recent weeks including the building of a new runway suitable for warplanes.
While Chinese Foreign Ministry statement said "China is committed to safeguarding the national territorial sovereignty as well as safeguarding peace and stability in the Indo-China Border areas."

India's Action till date

India had also moved an equal number of high altitude warfare troops to those areas "Operational alert areas" closer to the Line of Control. There have been diplomatic discussion as well as multiple meetings on a local level in an attempt to diffuse the tension. On Tuesday Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with his National Security Advisor (NSA) plus his Chief of Defence Staff and three security Chiefs to discuss " Bolstering India's Military preparedness to deal with external security challenges''.
Whereas Indian External Affairs Ministry blamed China for provoking the military escalations. They also said "The Indian side has always taken a very responsible approach towards border management".
