The 5 capture Indian spies who posed as hunters would be released after they are given "education" according to Ifeng.com news. The news portal said they were captured in Shannan city, south of Lhasa.

Latest from India is that they have been released.

That's some hunting trip, deep into China's Tibetan territory! Let's see if India or the BBC apologise for throwing mud at China again.

India is so desperate to see something bad about China, they are willing to forgo linguist and logic, in order to comfort themselves that China has failed.
If the Bharatis believe they have won a stunning victory, its all to the the best. What is gained by disillusioning and disabusing them? Let them think they are lord of all they wish they could survey and let the PLA get on with running the territory.

India is unfortunately overconfident and complacent, spurred on by a usually supportive foreign press based on its political system alone despite severely falling behind in pretty much every verifiable metrics. I think this complacency has worked its detriment, Chinese would absolutely not have tolerated such a stagnant/lagging economic and social development.

I know that I've often tried to defend my position that US isn't the instigating force behind India's actions at Aksai Chin and moreover, India's actions are a result of its own ultra nationalism.

However, there do exist a possibility that the current Ladakh confrontation will slow down China's pivot to Naval and Airforce modernization. The US may very well cheer and support India and could be the instigating force (Jayshanker seem to be a US lover). More funds will now flow to Army and Rocket Forces. Hopefully, China has economic growth to back this up but still the tax collection is certainly going to be impacted now and in the future due to covid pain.
