Modi made an unannounced visit Friday, July 3, 2020, to a military base in remote Ladakh region bordering China where the soldiers of the two countries have been facing off for nearly two months.
No other details of Modi’s visit were available. Both India and China have provided little information officially, but media in the two countries have given large coverage to the escalating tensions, much of it replayed on television news channels and social media. They say the soldiers ignored repeated verbal warnings, triggering a yelling match, stone-throwing and even fistfights in at least one place along Pangong Lake, the site of several such confrontations in the past.
