The Eastern is India's claim, not Lac. The western line is india's perception of the LAC. China's perception runs further west near the Chushul valley.

Sure, it does like India's perception here runs far further east than the right most line. I'm inclined to believe that China has no reason to have reported on Indian "capture" of its own peaks as if it is an intrusion because PLA was never there and there was no confrontation or occupying from PLA. China no doubt disliked India opening up the southern front and rushed to Black Top and Helmet Top AFTER India and in response to southern front opening up ... by India since PLA wasn't a step beyond Black Top and Helmet Top and didn't even go there until August at the earliest.
The position of Indian camp may be incorrect ( because the latest position is not known). But then, what's the point. Both seem to be roughly 1.5 km from the LAC.
Wasn't this discussed a month back?
About what you insist where Hot Springs is and how there is a distinction between Gogra and Hot Springs has to be made?
The article itself says that China may had to "recalibrate" due to the winter.

Indians when they stand on random unoccupied hills without self-inflicted casualties: "We captured several major heights and beat the PLA to them, thwarting China again."
Indians when Chinese soldiers literally climb a hill and beat them into a scattered retreat: "We never intended to be there; that territory is unimportant and all our military sources including several generals agree. We have failed to defend nothing because we never wanted it anyway."
Fortunately, the article makes the distinction quite clear.
Indeed. It makes it clear that it is due to Winter.
Many of the stuff you post right now are from 2020. What's the deal with it? I guess its another attempt to elicit some reaction.
Post newer stuff. We can discuss.
That was from spring of 2021. Check the dates.
More importantly, the article clearly shows the general location of the hot spring standoff area
It also shows that China failed to shift the LAC at Hot Springs, just like it failed to do so at Galwan. In both sectors, China had to step back while India moved closer to its perception of the LAC. Amb. Bambawale specifically refers to this ground reality when he says the Indian Army thwarted China.

Is this person Anti-Modi?
He added: “But whatever gains they may have made, whatever objectives they have achieved, I don’t think the Chinese are going to give them up and I don’t think India can change its position that there should be restoration of status quo ante and therefore you see the process getting elongated and lengthy as both side try to see what they can do to move ahead.”
Very insightful statement.

Good job cherry picking. In that article, he said the Indian Army thwarted China. An example being how PLA retreated from Hot Springs, as shown by India Today.
He has also refuted the claims of Ajai Shukla in seperate interviews.
