My suspicion would be that both sides agreed to cool the tempers down until BRICS summit is over next month.

Remember MEA did not confirm or deny whether modi is attending..

Whether china considers BRICS more important than doklam is anybody's guess.

I'd say this is not over yet, real status would know only after BRICS summit.

Before anyone comment, I have a question for all of you "what did China loose by backing off in Doklam conflict!?"
They lost their road construction project in Doklam which was part of their strategy of gradually intruding into territory that does not belong to them and occupying it which is known as the 'salami slice' strategy. They have also lost face and their invincibility balloon has burst, exposing that they're really made of straw. And it's a superb example of that idiom: empty vessels make the most sound!

Just check out this Chicom propaganda. It says nothing about withdrawal of Chinese troops!


And their slaves the Porkis are going to go to town with the spin that India has unilaterally withdrawn due to Chinese diplomatic and military pressure!

It does no matter what Hakka poodle media says, they are duty bound to say that it is a victory for Chinese.

What matters is what media in China's neighbours and western china experts are saying...

Here is a sample...

======

Japan 2010-2013, Vietnam 2014, India 2017 and ROK 2017 - a pattern of Chinese coercion failing ... lessons for Philippines, US, others?


Might be time to revisit conventional wisdom that every crisis with China must be resolved with minimal domestic political cost to Beijing.

Chinese are masters of propaganda. Their will go all out in ensuring the sustenance of their narrative that one party communist system has restored political, military and economic might of China. So letting a messy democracy to win is an anathema to them. They will use their stooges in media/politics/intelligensia entrenched in various countries to do their bidding. However the world is wise to this.Though they can peddle their propaganda in their country, the world will receive it with extreme prejudice and will know that China backed down.

Politburo of CPC knows ASEAN, Vietnam, Japan and the entire world is watching the stand off keenly. Is BRICS so important to loose face? they know this back down will embolden others in the region and will create a paradigm shift in how countries with dispute would respond to China henceforth. For a bully weakness would mean his downfall.This simple reasoning should have lead to escalation. However we have seen the opposite happen. Dont know who blinked the Secretary General XI or Chairman of the Central Military Commission.

Kudos to our PM and his team for unilaterally forcing two major policy shift in the neighborhood by making use of opening provided by the adversary:-

1)Blew a hole in pak's assertion that it has a short nuke threshold contigent of their territory being threatened by conducting the surgical strike, showing their posturing was all bluster.... setting the tone for making pok our own playground.

2) Coming of age of India as a net security guarantor against Chinese hegemonism akin to what US was post ww-II. Even US let down Georgia and Ukraine in the face of less stronger adversary (a weak russia) in less hostile threatening conditions despite promising things to the contrary....But India stood by a small weak country against a potential rising Super power amid unprecedented rhetoric that the world has seen coming from CPC's mouthpiece news outlets.

Remember in both cases India reacted.....held its nerve, came on top morally and politically..what will happen if the current team in Delhi plans, executes and holds the narrative...it will be Diwali for all.

Arrow is the trijunction aka Doklam, higher ground, a plateau. Circle is the Chinese road inside Indian area. The both countries are in standoff because from trijunction they can easily bring the Indian post under control and vice versa.

It is high time we realize the value of perception management. R&AW, IA, GoI all have perception/propaganda management cells, but none utilize it as we know of. To be frank, even ISI utilizes media to boast of non-existent victories or achieved failures. It is one of the major requisite to be a super-power.
Take the below case for example, the media has already downplayed India, and how many average/ordinary people would know that it was India that won the stand-off and it was Cheena that backed off?
