A recent claim by US Senator Bill Hagerty suggested that China used electromagnetic weapons to “literally melt” Indian soldiers during the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, a statement that has been widely dismissed as unfounded and technically implausible. The Indian Army and experts have debunked similar allegations in the past, asserting they were part of Chinese psychological operations. Despite these tensions, relations between India and China have shown signs of improvement, particularly following the recent SCO Summit where leaders discussed ways to resolve border issues and enhance trade ties. This scenario underscores the complex geopolitical landscape between the two nations, where dialogue remains crucial despite historical grievances.
