New Delhi, June 22 (ANI): In the ongoing stand-off between India and China, CDS General Bipin Rawat on June 22 said that after Galwan valley incident and other face-offs in 2020, Chinese Army realized that they need to be better trained and better prepared. “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. Their soldiers mainly come from the civilian street. They are enlisted for a short duration. They don't have much experience of fighting in these kinds of areas and operating in this kind of terrain. It's a difficult country, mountainous region, you need specialized training for this, in which our soldiers are very adept because we have a lot of mountain warfare training. We operate in mountains and continuously maintain our presence. Whereas for the Chinese it's not so. It is part of that training that they are carrying out. We have to keep our guard and keep a watch on all activities of Chinese. In doing so, we have to maintain presence along LAC,” said CDS Rawat.
