Ladakh deadlock: China said - need to implement the agreement between the leaders of the two countries

China and India have agreed to maintain peace on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and resolve the deadlock through negotiations and implement the consensus reached between the leadership of the two countries. This claim was made by China's top official on Monday.
He said,
"There has been a consensus that both sides need to implement the agreement between the leaders of the two countries so that the difference does not turn into a dispute." Hua was referring to the instructions of Chinese President Xi Chinfing and Prime Minister Narendra Modi which were given after two informal summits. Chinfing- Modi had asked the armies of both the countries to take further steps to restore confidence to maintain peace and patience at the border.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson further said, "Both sides will work to maintain peace and patience on the border and create a good environment". He said, "The situation is stable and in control and both sides will resolve the related issue." We are ready to discuss.
Hua's remarks come a day after the Indian Foreign Ministry's statement that India and China agreed to continue diplomatic and military negotiations as part of a bilateral agreement to peacefully resolve the current deadlock at the border.
The standoff between the two armies began when India started building significant roads in the Galwan Valley in Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldi as well as the Finger area around Pegong Lake and was opposed by China. The situation worsened in eastern Ladakh when violent confrontations between 250 Indian and Chinese soldiers took place on May 5 and 6. An incident similar to Pegong Tso also took place in North Sikkim on 9 May.

Note Xi's Chinese way of spelling his name! It's Xi Chinfing and not Xi Jinping! Anyway, what's in a name?
But what we need to do is to do what the Chinese are doing - identify and go occupy dominating heights inside their claim line along the 4000km LAC so we can then barter real estate. But for that to happen, Modi will need a 112 inch chest!
