  • Chinese army says Indian soldiers crossed Line of Actual Control
  • Says move has 'seriously damaged' border peace and tranquillity
  • Chinese troops had crossed border and destroyed Indian bunkers: Report
Beijing: The People's Liberation Army on Monday accused the Indian military of stopping the construction of a road in what it claims to be China's "sovereign territory" in the Sikkim section of the India-China border and said the move has "seriously damaged" border peace and tranquillity.

In a statement, the Chinese defence ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang said recently China had begun the construction of a road in DongLang region, but was stopped by Indian troops crossing the Line of Actual Control (LAC).:tup::tup:

"The China-India boundary in Sikkim has delineated by historical treaty. After the independence of India, the Indian government has repeatedly confirmed it in writing acknowledging that both sides have no objection to Sikkim border," the statement said.

"For China to build the road was completely an act of sovereignty on its own territory and the Indian side has no right to interfere," it said.

Chinese spokesman did NOT use the word of "the Line of Actual Control (LAC)". Instead, he said "border" because that part has been recognized by both governments and not disputed. I guess Indian troops are so used to the nature of unsettled line of actual control elsewhere. They think this part is also unsettled.

NEW DELHI: Indian and Chinese soldiers are locked in a tense face-off along the border in Sikkim after the latter intruded into Indian territory, destroyed two bunkers and stopped a batch of pilgrims headed for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.

Sources said the People's Liberation Army troops had "transgressed" into Indian territory in the Doka La region at the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet tri-junction and destroyed the two Indian Army bunkers in Lalten area around 10 days ago.


"There was some jostling between the rival troops. Our soldiers formed a human wall to deny the PLA troops from making further inroads," said a source. A flag meeting was subsequently held between senior Army officers from the two sides but the face-off could not be defused, with the rival troops maintaining their positions.

The Army, on being contacted by TOI, refused to say anything about the incident. The external affairs ministry, on its part, had last week raised with China its refusal to allow entry to around 50 pilgrims headed for Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet through the Nathu La in Sikkim.


Border face-offs between Indian and Chinese troops occur almost on a daily basis at different stretches along the 4,057-km Line of Actual Control, with eastern Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh in particular being major flashpoints.

Such troop confrontations are relatively rare in Sikkim, even though China also claims the "finger area" in the northernmost part of the state. Incidentally, Chinese troops had also destroyed a few makeshift bunkers of the Indian Army in the Doka La region in November 2007.


India and China, however, have slowly but steadily established several bilateral military confidence-building measures over the years, though the long-pending proposed hotline between their top military commanders is yet to take concrete shape.



The CBMs range from border personnel meeting (BPM) points at at Daulat Beg Oldi and Chushul (Ladakh), Nathu La (Sikkim), Bum La and Kibithu (Arunachal) to the Border Defence Cooperation Agreement (BDCA) inked in October 2013, which is geared towards ensuring troop face-offs are effectively defused at the local level itself.

Its the opposite, chinese warning India stay of US relationship. Chinese actions will simply push India towards US.

If that was the case we would welcome that wholeheartedly... Its about time India stopped being a pansy and become assertive on her borders!
