Indian And Chinese Troops Clash Twice In 2022 Despite Ongoing Peace Talks

Story Highlights
  • The Indian Army gave bravery medals to some of its soldiers who, it said, fought off Chinese troops trying to enter Indian land at least twice in 2022.
  • At least four Chinese soldiers were hurt when an Indian officer grabbed their rifles and hit them, "forcing them to go back," the report said.

New information from the Indian Army’s gallantry award citations shows that Indian and Chinese forces fought at least twice in 2022 along their Himalayan border, where they have been in a tense standoff since 2020.

There was hand-to-hand fighting, and it happened while New Delhi and Beijing were having a series of military and diplomatic talks to end their worst military war in decades.

It was reported that no one died in these events. Fights in the area two years ago, in mid-2020, killed at least 20 Indian forces and 4 Chinese soldiers.

There were fights in India’s Ladakh area, with the most recent one happening in November 2022. This shows that the unmarked border caused a lot more trouble than was thought before.

When asked for comments, the Indian and Chinese armies did not reply right away.
