India’s Defence Ministry has confirmed that the number of Chinese troops positioned along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) fell in 2025, according to a recent report.
The assessment, based on intelligence data, shows a downward trend in Chinese troop presence compared to prior years, though specific figures were not released.
Officials said the reduction reflects a broader shift in Chinese military deployment strategy in the region, and the ministry will continue to monitor the situation closely.
The ministry also noted that the decline does not automatically indicate a easing of border tensions, and diplomatic engagement remains a priority.
