China has warned India to stop ‘clamoring for war’ and has reminded them of the thrashing they received from the People’s Liberation Army in 1962. The Indian Army has opened new helicopter bases in Sikkim, where tensions are rising.
Chinese troops reportedly crossed the Line of Actual Control at Doka La in Sikkim earlier this week and destroyed Indian Army bunkers.
The entire border is disputed, with a salient of Chinese territory — the Donglang region — jutted out between Sikkim and Bhutan.
“Donglang Region is part of China’s territory. China’s road-building activities in Donglang on its own territory are totally reasonable and understandable,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang on Thursday (June 29).
Indian troops reportedly formed a human wall to prevent any further incursions by the PLA.
Sikkim is a tiny state which is wedged between Nepal and Bhutan. It was an independent Buddhist kingdom until 1975, until it was swallowed up by India.
