China has maintained a significant military presence along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), reflecting ongoing strategic posturing. In 2022, China deployed a border regiment supported by two divisions from the Xinjiang and Tibet Military Districts, with four combined arms brigades in reserve in the western sector of the LAC. Additionally, three light-to-medium combined arms brigades were positioned in the eastern sector, and another three in the central sector, indicating a comprehensive enhancement of military capabilities along the disputed border. This build-up includes mechanized divisions equipped with self-propelled artillery, tanks, and light armored vehicles, marking the largest deployment since the 1962 border conflict between the two nations. Despite diplomatic efforts and agreements aimed at de-escalation, the majority of these forces remain stationed along the LAC, underscoring the persistent volatility in the region. The sustained presence of these brigades highlights the enduring nature of the standoff, with both India and China maintaining substantial troop deployments. This situation necessitates continued vigilance and dialogue to prevent further escalation and to work towards a peaceful resolution of the border disputes. “China’s Arms Brigade at LAC: Still Alive” provides an in-depth analysis of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) combined arms brigades stationed along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), examining their structure, capabilities, and strategic significance.
