China has made a new move amid the ongoing border dispute between India and China. Things have been quiet on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) for the last few days. Meanwhile, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has appointed a new commander at the Western Theater Command. According to Chinese media, the head of the Central Military Commission (CMC) President Xi Jinping has handed over the command of the Western Front to General Zhang Shudong.

However, India has been expressing confidence for the past few days that military and diplomatic levels are being negotiated between the two countries and the forces of the two countries may soon withdraw.

Promoted 4 other officers as well
Xi has also promoted 4 Chinese military and police officers. The new appointment and promotion at the high level in the Western Command of the PLA questions the intentions of China amid the ongoing conflict between the two countries in eastern Ladakh since May.
