India And China Border Conflict Recurring Since 1914

JAKARTA - The conflict between India and China has not happened just once. This border conflict has even been going on for decades. This time, the conflict between the two countries took place in the Galwan Valley on Monday, June 15.

The clash that occurred last week is believed to be the deadliest of all the clashes that occurred between India and China over the last 5 decades or so. This clash resulted in the death of 20 soldiers from India including Indian military officer Colonel B Santosh Babu, while soldiers from China have not yet known the number of victims. The news is circulating, there are 40 Chinese soldiers who died as a result of the clash, but Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian said that it was fake news.

Accusing each other of triggering the incident colored this feud. Prime Minister Modi said it was China who was violating the border line by trying to build a facility right across from the LAC (Line of Actual Control). The Chinese side is also said to have rejected India's request to stop construction.

These accusations ended on Monday, June 22, with negotiations that lasted 11 hours in the LAC area. In a documentary broadcast by the China Global Television Network (CGTN), Zhao said the two sides agreed to work towards peace and tranquility.

During the negotiations, they discussed the agreement reached at the first military commander level meeting on 6 June. They exchanged honest and in-depth views on this border control and agreed to take relevant steps to defuse tensions. This discussion will continue, but the details were not shared by both parties.

The border conflict between India and China has actually been going on for a long time. Reporting from the South China Morning Post, the long history of the struggle for this region has occurred since 1914, when Britain was still ruling India. After that, in the following years until now there are still several clashes due to border conflicts.
