'For 1 Indian soldier, China needs 8 in Ladakh': Decoding situation amid tension

India and China conducted their seventh edition of military-diplomatic talks on October 12 as tension along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh stretches on.

Earlier rounds of talks had failed to break the deadlock and end the stand-off which began in early summer.

Both sides are staring at a difficult and harsh winter in Ladakh as heavy deployment is maintained.

The Indian Army has stated that it is fully prepared to ride out the Ladakh winter while defending India's territorial integrity.

As talks go on, albeit without much hope of quick de-escalation, China experts Atul Aneja, a senior journalist, and Srikanth Kondapalli, Professor of Chinese Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), discuss with Hindustan Times' Aditi Prasad about which nation enjoys an advantage in Ladakh at the moment.
