India-China Breakthrough: China Ready For Border Talks As India Pushes For Border Demarcation

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. #IndiaChina #BorderTalks #GalwanClash #LACStandoff #IndiaChinaTensions #RajnathSingh #DongJun #ChinaIndiaRelations #DefenceDiplomacy #SCO2025 #BorderDispute #Delimitation #TroopDisengagement #Deescalation #ChinaIndiaNews #AsiaStability #Geopolitics #PeaceNegotiations #KailashYatra #LACUpdate ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~

VIDEO: Meteorite Crash Sparks PANIC Across South Carolina, Georgia After 'FIREBALL' Seen In Sky

A fiery object spotted blazing through skies above South Carolina, Georgia, and nearby states on Thursday afternoon has triggered investigations and emergency responses across the region. Multiple fire departments in South Carolina’s Upstate launched searches for a possible meteorite crash site after 12:20 p.m. Witnesses described a bright "fireball in the sky," and in Georgia, one homeowner reported a rock crashed through their roof. Officials are working to determine whether the object was a meteorite — a space rock that survived atmospheric entry — and if it impacted any populated areas. #MeteoriteCrash #SouthCarolina #GeorgiaFireball #FireballSighting #SpaceRock #Meteor #Meteorite #NASA #BreakingNews #MeteorCrash #UpstateFireball #MeteorSouthCarolina #HenryCountyCrash #SpaceAlert #MeteoriteNews #MeteorSky #FireballWatch #EmergencyResponse #SpaceEvent #MeteoriteImpact Also Read Orionids meteor shower: When and Where to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/orionids-meteor-shower-when-and-where-to-watch-in-india-2965516.html?ref=DMDesc Chile: Oldest meteorite collection on Earth discovered in Atacama Desert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/chile-oldest-meteorite-collection-on-earth-discovered-in-atacama-desert-2895379.html?ref=DMDesc Geminid Meteor Shower to peak tonight: Where and how to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/geminid-meteor-shower-peak-tonight-where-how-to-watch-india-2822045.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.346~
