The dragon is not improving, action on LAC came to the fore...
Since the conflict in the Galwan Valley in june 2020, china has kept a sizable military presence along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with India. The People’s Liberation army (PLA) has not diminished its personnel or position, even though some military forces have left various areas. The Pentagon report has disclosed this.
According to the study, "The PLA has not reduced its position or military numbers since the 2020 clash and has built infrastructure and support facilities to maintain the deployment of several brigades on the LAC."
Over a million troops are stationed on the LAC.
China has stationed roughly 120,000 troops along the 3,488-kilometer LAC, which stretches from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, according to the Pentagon's yearly estimate. In addition to the troops, the PLA has used heavy weaponry such as surface-to-air missiles, tanks, howitzers, and other cutting-edge military hardware. More than 20 combined arms brigades (CABs) are still in front positions in the western, central, and eastern sectors of the LAC, according to the report.
China has a strong hold over the LAC.
The Pentagon report goes on to say that China's Western theater Command, which keeps watch over the indian border, is giving border security first priority. According to the research, "In recent years, different perceptions between india and china about border demarcation have led to numerous clashes, mobilization of military forces and construction of military infrastructure." According to the source, "most troops remain there" even though some CABs have returned to base, demonstrating China's stronghold in the area.
