evidence: The Depsang Plains are large plains that are suitable for driving armoured carriers, artillery and mechanised units, which is unusual at the height of about 17,000 feet above sea level. Much of these plains have been under Chinese control since the mid-1950s. [...] There is a factor in Depsang Plains, which is the Limits of Patrol (LOP). It is a unique area where India and China’s perception of LAC vary and the limits to which India can patrol is also in a way notified. [...] Therefore, the correct answer to the question, ‘has India lost territory to China’ is that India has been denied access to territory in China in Depsang Plains.
