Ladakh face-off | Avoid miscalculation, says China
The HinduChina on Friday warned India against making “a strategic miscalculation with regard to China”, in a sharp reaction to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s surprise visit to Ladakh to meet Indian troops. “I would like to stress that China hopes that India will work with us, follow faithfully the important consensus reached between the two leaders, abide by the agreements reached between the two governments, strengthen communication and coordination on properly managing the current situation through diplomatic and military channels, and jointly uphold peace and stability in the border areas,” he said. “China and India should follow the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries and uphold overall bilateral relations,” he said. Artificially setting up barriers for such cooperation not only violates WTO rules, but also hurts India's interests.” He said China would “take all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights of Chinese businesses”.
