In a development, that is seen as a more staunch and stringent step in the equation of India and China, that has derailed thanks to expansionist and violent conduct from China’s Public Liberation Army (PLA) in the Galwan Valley region. This comes in one of the steps that the US has resorted to, apart from the recent embargo Chinese companies like Huawei and ZTE, it is perhaps, for the first time that an official statement has kept a neutral diplomatic tone aside to reprehend the Chinese in poignant words.
In a press briefing at the White House, the Press Secteray, Kayleigh McEnany, conveyed the administration’s message of attacking and critiquing Bejing’s Policies, by saying, that the Communist Party Of China (CPC) and its “true nature” is being ascertained and being manifested in the steps that its Army has taken at the border. This has been by many, seen as boost India’s prospects on the international stage, as it aims to garner more support in the cause of isolating and cornering china for its extreme deeds.
Although America has itself not been in good terms, with China, especially due to the trade war and the chaos that ensued it, because of Trump, and this can also be seen as US’s attempts to truncate China’s influence, serving its own interests, this can also be deemed as a piece of good news for India.
It was in the month of June that, the already chagrined India-China ties, hit a new low when a border escalation and brawl that followed the same lead to the martyrdom of 20 Indian soldiers. Ever since then sundry attempts to de-escalate the tensions on the border have been held on multiple levels, including ministerial and diplomatic channels, apart from the on-ground negotiations, by the army chiefs and other superior officers from both sides. But, unfortunately, none of that has shown results.
Although the White House seems to have taken a much more inherently earnest stance, it still claims to believe in finding an amicable and amenable solution to the crisis.
