Notably, Indian Army had taken possession of Rechin La and Rezang La on August 29 night after driving away PLA soldiers from there. China wants to recapture this, according to sources in the known of military movements along the LAC.
It is said these seized peaks are strategically important for India. While Indian external affairs minister S Jaishankar is reiterating the need for high-level talks to resolve the issue, India is mindful of the long-term strategy it must put in place and find ways to checkmate the territorial ambitions and usurpation plans of President Xi Jinping.
