General Rawat said, ‘Chinese Army is not trained to fight on mountain terrain of the Himalayas and mainly enlisted for a short duration. The Chinese soldiers that were deployed on the border with India have been changed. Chinese Army can fight for a short duration and do not have the experience of fighting in this area. India is keeping a close eye on China’s activities. Indian Army is always ready and has been trained well. In the mountain region, Indian Army is better than the Chinese Army. Northern and western forefronts are important for the Army. Lately, there has been some increased activity on the northern forefront’, said Rawat.
