“No de-escalation in China stand-off Both sides have also moved forward thousands of additional troops and set up logistics supply lines, with heavy vehicles and monitoring equipment, to back their soldiers on the actual confrontation sites. https://t.co/aO4oibg8Ov”
紐時也注意到兩國關係緊張：
“Even before the scuffling, India was feeling increasingly hemmed in by China’s expanding economic and geopolitical influence in South Asia.”

這篇報導提到五月份雙方首次摩擦的時間點是在本串首嘟05/11事件之前的05/05晚。雖說媒體的均提到雙方有針對邊界問題建立溝通機制，同一個月內發生三次以上衝突，即使在此時仍顯異常。
“The PLA and Indian Army soldiers clashed at the feature called Finger 5 in the northern flank of the Pangong lake on May 5 night.
A few days later, personnel from the two armies clashed again near Naku La in Sikkim.”
同樣是看衝突，影片可以看的門道很多。
「影片中顯示一艘印度Tampa快艇（從美國進口）攔截懸掛中國國旗的模擬中國巡邏船的演習畫面，印度快艇使用了名為“漩渦戰術”，用高速快艇不斷繞代號LX系列的“中國巡邏船”轉圈航行，將目標船隻困在水流中，迫使其開始陷入渦流時返回。依目前情況來看，該湖西部45公里長的部份地區在印度的控制下，其餘部份則在中國控制之下。
該報道引據軍事評論員黃東分析，解放軍在班公錯湖出動928D巡邏艇，行內俗稱“西海艦隊”，已集結5,000多士兵，已是一個旅的兵力，印軍也不相伯仲，“雙方已經有1萬人，可以打一場不大不小嘅戰爭”。 」

The Diplomat對最近兩國緊張情勢的分析。
“It is true that China does not consider India to be its primary strategic competitor. However, some Chinese veterans are of the opinion that China has a history of adjusting its strategic direction and has more often than not benefitted from solving contradictions in a secondary direction first, rather than the contradictions in the primary direction.”

WAPO一篇報導對這段衝突期間作出淺白說明的分析：
“If Beijing fears other nations may view China as weak or distracted by the coronavirus and the economic aftershocks, the Chinese leadership may feel it has to take a hard line against any potential challenge to Chinese sovereignty. This is true not only regarding the border with India but also with regard to Taiwan, Hong Kong and the South China Sea.”

“The Chinese Communist Party has been on this effort, on this march, for an awfully long time,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week. “They’ll certainly use a tactical situation on the ground to their advantage.”
“中共为此，为这次推进已经努力了很长时间，”国务卿迈克·庞皮欧(Mike Pompeo)上周表示。“他们肯定会在实地利用战术优势。”

法廣最後一段轉述印度智庫看法還滿驚人的，原來維尼帝這麼雄心壯志？！😳
「印度智庫“中國分析及策略中心”研究員則認為，從2015年習近平宣布中巴經濟走廊計畫後，中印關係就已陷入不穩定和不確定的年代；2017年發生中印軍隊的洞朗對峙事件，中國阻止印度加入核子供應國組織（NSG）等事件，讓中印雙邊關係早已不穩定。印度方面懷疑：15日晚間中印暴力對峙事件，及巴基斯坦部隊最近在印巴控制線（LoC）開火，還有尼泊爾突然公布納入與印度有領土爭議地區的新地圖等，都是中國精心籌畫，目的是對印度施壓，以實現習近平的“中國夢”，也就是把他所認為的中國領土，包括台灣、東海、南海和中印邊境爭議地區都納入中國實質控制。」
昨晚睡前連看兩篇外媒對中印衝突分析, 雖不至南轅北轍, 但判斷迥異卻是真的.
紐時是看好中方的代表, 同樣看法的有法廣:
"For all of Mr. Modi’s aggressive rhetoric, the clash has underscored how far India has fallen behind its neighbor, militarily and economically. "
https://cn.nytimes.com/?redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F
法廣以經濟量體與國防預算理由看好中方:
"中印之間的經濟和國防差距明顯：中國每年GDP近14萬億美元，印度不到3萬億美元。中印的軍費開支在30年前大體相當，現在拉開了距離。據瑞典專門機構西普里（Sipri）估計，現在中國年軍費達到2600億美元，印度只有710億美元。所以從軍事上講，印度軍隊已經沒有重量。"
對中方贏面持保留看法的則是CNN, 根據的是對中印雙方軍力分析的外部報告:
"To weather a potential People's Liberation Army (PLA) attack, India has placed greater emphasis on infrastructure hardening; base resiliency; redundant command, control, and communications systems; and improved air defense,"

India-China Standoff LIVE Updates: Troops engage in late night firing in Ladakh, Chinese PLA blames India
India-China Standoff News LIVE Updates: In a late night development, Indian troops and soldiers of Chinese PLA engaged in another exchange of firing near the Pangong Lake in Ladakh. Government sources have said warning shots were fired at the Chinese troops who opened fire at the Indian positions late on Monday night. The limited exchange took place along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh and the situation has been brought under control. The Chinese PLA, however, has issued a statement blaming India for the exchange and said “on September 7, the Indian army illegally crossed the line and entered Bangong Hunan, the western section of the Sino-Indian border”. An official statement from the Indian Army is still awaited. The latest round of firing comes amid the ongoing standoff between India and China in the Ladakh region that has been on for several months. This is the second time shots have been fired since August. Follow live updates on India-China border conflict news:

中印外長會達成5共識 兩軍邊境部隊盡快脫離接觸 - 國際 - 自由時報電子報
印度與中國近日互控在在拉達克地區（Ladakh）的中印實際控制線（LAC）越界、率先對空鳴槍挑釁，為45年來兩國邊境衝突首見開火。印度外交部長蘇杰生（Subrahmanyam Jaishankar）10日與中國外交部長王毅會面，雙方達成5點共識，同意兩國邊境部隊盡快脫離接觸，保持必要距離。中國和印度外交部今天發出新聞稿指出，王毅在莫斯科出席上海合作組織（SCO）外長會期間會見印度外長蘇杰生。王毅說，中印作為兩個相鄰大國，存在一些分歧是正常的，但強調當務之急是立即停止開槍挑釁等違反承諾的危險行為，撤回所有越線人員和裝備，盡快脫離接觸，推動局勢緩和降溫。

"之所以首筆訂單將銷往阿爾及利亞，其實可從冷戰時期美國及蘇聯在該區域的戰略而見得。近期因為美國華府宣佈公開支持阿爾及利亞鄰國摩洛哥，承諾出售F-16 Block 70/72批次戰機，摩洛哥本身的23架F-16戰機也將獲得現代化升級。
摩洛哥還將引入雷神公司的「AIM-120」先進中程空對空飛彈（AMRAAM）系統。因此，軍備競賽局勢再起，促使阿爾及利亞引進俄羅斯Su-57戰鬥機，曾傳出合約金額高達20億美元"

撤軍？中印邊境對峙 全副武裝相距不到500公尺 - 國際 - 自由時報電子報
中印邊境局勢緊張，印度外交部長蘇杰生（Subrahmanyam Jaishankar）10日與中國外交部長王毅會面，達成撤軍共識。不過過去48小時內，解放軍在班公湖北岸部隊人數卻明顯增加，被視為想奪取印度上月底取得的戰略地位，印軍也隨即因應部署軍力，目前兩軍全副武裝，皆在對方射程範圍內。根據《Indian Express》報導，消息人士指出，自5月以來，中國解放軍就一直在班公湖（Pangong Tso）北岸第4指山脊駐紮，更進入印度認定的中印實際控制線（LAC）地點。即便中印取得撤軍共識，但解放軍從未從第4指山脊撤離，想奪取印度在上月底佔領、主導的戰略地點。

討論到各種型號的戰車及其素質時，托馬說，如果要讓他在「厚裝甲」和「速度快」之間作選擇，他肯定會選擇後者。也就是說他更看重速度，他從實戰經驗中得出結論，速度才是最重要的。他認為最理想的裝甲團應由三分之二的速度較快的大型戰車和三分之一速度極快的輕型戰車組成。"
