China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.

They travel faster than sound. Some even at Mach 20. They can strike any point on the planet within minutes — and no known defence system can stop them.
In this explosive breakdown, we take you inside the world’s fastest and most powerful missiles — Russia’s Avangard and Sarmat, China’s DF-41, the US Trident II D5 and Minuteman III — and reveal India’s imminent entry into the hypersonic elite.
From nuclear payloads to manoeuvrability and range, these weapons define modern deterrence and domination. And with India’s DRDO now testing indigenous hypersonic tech, the global arms race just got a new player.
