Stalemate continues in eastern Ladakh as China takes rigid stand on de-escalation

With China not agreeable to India's de-escalation plan in eastern Ladakh and its stance rigid on remaining friction points, the stalemate at the LAC continues.

The stalemate continues in eastern Ladakh, as India’s stand on working out a complete de-escalation plan in the region is not agreeable to China.

India has been insisting that a piecemeal disengagement -- as in Pangong Tso, Galwan and Gogra, where buffer zones have been created -- would not lead to a final resolution. China insists on a similar buffer zone for the Hot Springs area.
