Galwan valley issue

The dispute of India and China is on peak,as china attacked on India when the talks going on. As far as we know India believes to resolve the issue through talks. Whereas China runs on the communist and Maoist philosophy which suggests expansionist ideas. Following this path, China has already occupied Tibet and its next target is Ladakh. A month long stand-off in the Galwan valley near LAC has resulted in extreme violence between India and China. India lost its 20 soldiers, but we dont know about the loss of China as China has not disclosed the numbers, but according to Indian source, China too has lost 43 soldiers.
Though talks were going on at diplomatic and military levels, still China attacked on Indian soldiers, when they went there to be- escalate the army. China is not accepting it, but it clear by some evidences. 
China had nearly 300 soldiers with copper and iron coiled sticks.
India can take steps against China as it is likely that India will become the non- permanent member of UNSC, it can raise the issue of Galwan Valley.
Government of India should reduce the use of Chinese products, use Indian, American and others countries products as its alternative.
