The Indian Army late Tuesday night raised the death toll in a clash with Chinese troops on a disputed Himalayan border from three to 20 Indian soldiers.

The army also said in a statement that the two sides “have disengaged” from the disputed Galwan area where they clashed overnight on Monday.

The army originally reported that three Indian soldiers had died, but later said 17 additional soldiers succumbed to injuries they suffered in the sub-zero temperatures of the high-altitude terrain.

China has accused Indian forces of carrying out “provocative attacks” on its troops and has not said if any of its soldiers have died.

Thousands of soldiers on both sides have been facing off for over a month.

The clash — during which neither side fired any shots, according to Indian officials — is the first deadly confrontation between the two Asian giants since 1975.

Greta Thunberg May see an upside with these two having at each other.

I was there July 2018. The weather was pretty decent.
I’d say it was around 60 or so in Reykjavik.

The two rudest peoples on Earth.

I've known that for forty years! How do YOU know that?
I do think that the Chinese might have an edge on rudeness. Just an opinion.

20 dead? Did they use harsh language?

This is the new emboldened China.

Better equipped and emboldened by our elites selling out our working middle class.

They are extremely nationalistic and they are ready to fight.

Meanwhile in America, college football coaches are forced to apologize for wearing conservative news T shirts.

No, this is the kind of thing that drives more of them here. Our elites would love to move many more jobs to India Red China, but the infrastructure isn’t there (yet) in terms of 24/7/365 electricity in parts - and situations like this ensure that American workers will have to get used to Indians - and Red Chinese - coming here instead.
