India-China border dispute: From Aksai China to Arunachal, where is the tension

Galwan Valley

Galvan Valley is a disputed area in Aksai, China. The Galvan Valley is located near the Indo-China border between Ladakh and Aksai China.

Here the Line of Actual Control (LAC) separates China from India. This valley extends to southern Xinjiang in China and Ladakh in India.

SD Muni, a former professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University and an international affairs expert, points out that these areas are strategically crucial for India as it is bordering Pakistan, China’s Xinjiang, and Ladakh borders. 

Even during the war of 1962, this area of ​​the Galvan River was the center of the war.

SD Muni says that China is calling the construction of India in the Galvan valley illegal because there has been an agreement between India and China that they will accept LAC and will not build new ones in it. 

But China has already done the necessary military construction there, and now it talks about maintaining the current situation. To strengthen its position, India now also wants to build a strategic building there.
