'India's demand unreasonable': China takes rigid stance on Ladakh de-escalation

With China not agreeable to India's de-escalation plan in eastern Ladakh and its rigid stance on remaining friction points, the stalemate at the LAC continues.

In the 13th Corps Commander level talks on Ladakh, the Indian side reiterated that the situation along the LAC had been caused by unilateral attempts by China to alter the status quo and in violation of the bilateral agreements.

China, on the other hand, said, “India insists on unreasonable and unrealistic demands, adding difficulties to the negotiations.”

The People's Liberation Army spokesperson said that China is firm in its resolve to safeguard national sovereignty. He hoped that the Indian side should avoid misjudging the situation and cherish the hard-won situation in the China-India border areas.
