Is new China land border law a signal to India?

After India raised concerns over new Chinese land border law, Beijing said that its new land border law will not affect the implementation of existing border treaties and urged relevant countries to avoid making "wanton speculation" about a "normal domestic legislation".

China's national legislature - the National People's Congress (NPC) - on October 23 adopted the new law on the protection and exploitation of the land border areas which drew sharp reaction from India as it was passed amid the protracted military standoff between the two sides in eastern Ladakh region.

On Wednesday, India hit out at Beijing for bringing out the new land border law and said it expects China to avoid taking any action under the "pretext" of the legislation that could "unilaterally" alter the situation in the border areas.

So, is new Chinese land border law a signal to India? Is this further hardening of the Chinese stance?
