This is a big deal.

It could be but I don’t think so. I think it is a probe of intentions. China doesn’t care about losing a few pieces of cannon fodder. if China wants a fight They will mount an organized large scale invasion.

RE: This is a big deal.

Military experts say one reason for the face-off is that India has been building roads and airfields to improve connectivity and narrow the gap with China’s far superior infrastructure.

At Galwan, India completed a road leading to an airfield last October. China has asked India to stop all construction.

India says it is operating on its side of the Line of Actual Control, the de facto border.

Not that big a deal. The idea of an accidental war is a canard. It happens only when both sides want it. That’s because a war is an expensive and complicated undertaking. Money has to be appropriated, supplies ordered, manufactured and stockpiled, and troops have to be drafted, trained and sent to the front, where they have to be resupplied on a regular basis if they are not to be overrun.

“This is a big deal.”

Not really, they have been fighting for decades along that border.
