Business Insider/SCMP: China is showing off its military hardware during its latest border showdown with India
* The deployment of Chinese advanced weapon systems is meant to show India what the Chinese military's capabilities are, one expert says.
* Ongoing friction between the two countries along a disputed stretch of their western border echoes another serious confrontation in Doklam, a disputed portion on the eastern edge of that border, in 2017.
The latest tensions between China and India have further fuelled both countries' build-up of troops and weapons to assert territorial claims at their disputed border areas, with China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) stepping up advanced arms testing and training at high altitude.
There has been no official confirmation of the numbers of troops each nation has deployed, but reports have suggested that the PLA has sent multiple advanced weapon systems and refitted fighter jets for operation in high altitude areas of the Tibetan plateau.
The Indian army, too, has moved several battalions from an infantry division usually based in the Ladakh city of Leh, near the border, to "operational alert areas" along the frontier, and reinforcement troops have been brought in.
