PLA Battalion commander Major Chen Honjun fatally injured(Later KIA) after confrontation with Indian Army troops in Galwan Valley

Chinese leadership is putting their troops in a terrible position.

Indian troops have as strong or EVEN STRONGER martial tradition, they're bigger physically and to be quite honest, the idea of fighting with melee weapons fits perfectly with their culture/mentality.

They really need to go back to the drawing board on the idea that banning firearms will keep this from zooming out of control and work out some type of agreement or this will be a Vietnam 2.0 for them, except the Indians will be giving the terrible lesson to them.

If they can't do any of the above then they should think more like taking on horse cavalry from back in the day.

They need those long pikes to slow down the rush instead of absorbing body blows.

To the Major, rest in peace and to his family may his memory be a blessing.
