Indian forces have detained a Chinese soldier on the disputed Himalayan frontier where the world's two most populous countries fought a deadly battle last year, the military said Saturday. 

It is the second detention on the high altitude border since the pitched battles in June in which 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese troops were killed. 

Both sides have since poured tens of thousands of troops and heavy weaponry into the tension zone in the Ladakh region, currently in the grip of freezing winter temperatures.

The quicker China gets their soldier back, the stronger they look and the weaker India looks.

The longer India keeps him the stronger Inia looks.

Keep the soldier too long and China will spin not only to not look weak, to to generate 'righteous' anger.

Maybe India needs to keep him a weak and explain, where he was caught on Indian soil over and over, while treating him very well well so China cannot play the they treated hi poorly card and make him useless as a propaganda piece.
