After Galwan, China Army Realised It Needs Better Training: General Rawat

New Delhi: Taking a dig at China, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat has said that after the faceoff with Indian forces in Galwan Valley and in eastern Ladakh along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) last year, the Chinese Army has realized that it needs better training and preparation.

CDS Rawat said that Chinese soldiers are mainly enlisted for a short duration and don’t have much experience of fighting in the mountain terrain of the Himalayas.

"Chinese deployment on border with India has undergone a change, especially after incidents that happened in Galwan and other areas in May and June 2020. Thereafter, they realized that they need to be better trained and better prepared," Gen Rawat said when asked about the fresh activity of the Chinese People`s Liberation Army (PLA) along LAC.
