Defence ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang stressed that Indian troops recently crossed the border in an attempt to block a road construction in Donglang (Doklam) area by the Chinese side. The assertion runs counter to Indian media reports, which have said that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) crossed into Indian territory and destroyed two bunkers in the Doka La region in Sikkim.
Col. Ren Guoqiang said the construction of roads in Donglang (Doklam) area by the Chinese side was entirely a sovereign act in its own territory and the Indian side had no right to interfere. He added that the “unilateral provocation” by Indian troops had violated the consensus and relevant agreements on border issues between the Chinese and Indian governments. He underscored that “China is committed to developing bilateral relations with India, but it will also firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests.”
The foreign ministry also pointed out that China had taken “corresponding measures" after “Indian border guards in the Sino-Indian border Sikkim section crossed the border into the territory of China, obstructed the Chinese border troops in the Donglong area from conducting normal activities.”
the Chinese foreign ministry has contended that the area where the border incident took place was undisputed, as it was delineated and endorsed. “The Sino-Indian border of Sikkim has been delineated by the 1890 Sino-British Treaty on Tibetan Customs. After the independence of India, the Indian government has confirmed this in writing several times, acknowledging that there is no objection to the border between the two sides," a Ministry statement said.
