Should India cut ties with China and change foreign policy on Taiwan and Hong Kong
The death of 20 soldiers in the Galwan Valley, Ladakh during the confrontation with Chinese forces has angered Indian citizens. Security forces of both the countries engaged in a deadly conflict for the first time in 45 years along the undefined Line of Actual Control. It is reported that the Chinese side also saw 43 casualties including injuries. The bilateral-relation between two Asian powerful countries went all-time low after the confrontation. The deadly conflict came days after the two countries seemed to have settled the six-weeks-long-eyeball confrontation.
India building a new road in the most remote and vulnerable area of their country along the border of Line of Actual Control in Ladakh is believed to have triggered the Chinese aggressive stance.

Now that India started building roads in its own territory, Beijing seems to have a problem. This is outrageous.
