Deadlock continues in Ladakh, 14th round of Corps Commander level talks fail to end stalemate

India has been insisting on overall de-escalation in Ladakh and resolving places like Depsang and Demchok where a build-up pre-dates the current standoff of the last 21 months. 

The 14th round of India-China military talks at the Corps Commander level that went on for over 13 hours could not break the deadlock in Eastern Ladakh.

The talks were intended to find a resolution for a disengagement in the Hot Springs area, one of the four friction points since May 2020 when military tensions between the two neighbouring nations escalated.
