China said India had pulled its troops from the Chinese side of a disputed Himalayan border area on Monday afternoon, after a months-long stand-off.

Earlier in the day, India’s foreign ministry said it had agreed with China to an “expeditious disengagement” of troops from the Doklam plateau, an area close to the borders of China, India and Bhutan.

The announcements come ahead of a meeting in China this weekend of BRICS countries, a bloc comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.


The Chinese foreign ministry said Indian military personnel had pulled out of the Chinese side by 2.30pm on Monday.

“I am pleased to confirm that trespassing Indian personnel have all pulled back to the Indian side of the boundary,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said.

“Chinese troops continue to patrol on the Chinese side of the boundary.”


The ministry said China would continue to “exercise its sovereign rights and defend territorial sovereignty in accordance with the historical demarcation agreement”.


Indian media reports said both Indian and Chinese troops were slowly being withdrawn from the disputed zone.

India’s NDTV reported that soldiers from both sides had started pulling out, but the process of removing them would not be completed on Monday.

The move comes a week ahead of a BRICS summit in Xiamen, Fujian province, where Chinese President Xi Jinping will play host to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of three other major emerging economies.

The Chinese foreign ministry said that at the peak of the crisis, up to 400 Indian soldiers and two bulldozers were engaged in the confrontation.

Dr Rajeev Ranjan Chaturvedy, a research associate at the Institute of South Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore, said officials from both sides had worked hard to defuse the tensions.

“The diplomatic channels were open throughout,” Chaturvedy said. “Withdrawing troops will ease some tension and will provide room for both leaders at the BRICS [summit].”

Waiting for the Indian members to spin this into a victory for Modi. :P

According to the official Chinese spokesperson, Indian troops have withdrawn, Chinese troops continue to patrol. China maintains all rights over the area, including for building infrastructure.

P.S. Here is a third party source (Washington Post) that says the same thing:

The dragon is converted to lizard by India. you accept it or not.


This land does not belong to India, neither India CLAIMS IT. We wanted to stop the road and we did with a big slap on china and its cheerleaders faces.

:agree:
 
Weak Chinese have bowed down to India demands to stop road construction:

That's not what the official Chinese spokesperson has said. :enjoy:

They said Chinese troops continue to patrol Donglang, and we maintain full rights over the area, which includes infrastructure construction.

How the heck can you stop us building the road if only Chinese troops are there? :P

Heck, its disputed between China and Bhutan. Both Chinese and Bhutanese used to patrol before as well. Same will continue. Come back when you have news about road construction.
 
Congratulations on a great Chinese victory...
BTW how that road coming up along the border? :undecided:

Come back when you have news about road construction.

Have you ever known China to stop construction, whether in the South China Sea or CPEC or otherwise? :P

Literally the ONLY thing stopping road construction in Donglang was the unarmed Indian soldiers holding hands, and forming a human chain to stop the construction equipment.

Now the Indian side has withdrawn completely, while Chinese troops are still there. Tell me, what can stop our road construction now?

India said back to status quo which was China and Bhutan patrolled that area.India objected to road construction which they said broke agreements.Now if the road construction continues then it would be a victory for China time will tell.

Alright so you think China will stop construction out of goodwill towards India, how did that work out in the South China Sea? :P Does anyone honestly believe that China will stop construction now that the Indian troops have withdrawn?

Does that make sense, given China's past behaviour when it comes to construction on disputed territory? Whether CPEC or the SCS?
