X
The ongoing border tensions between India and China took an ugly turn with the Chinese Army claiming the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh as its and even asked sprawling capital Beijing to cramp its activities along the LAC.

The foreign Ministry of China even took a step ahead and said that the Galwan Valley falls under Chinese territory and it lies under the Line of Actual Control.

India responded to China's claims and ruled out the sovereignty of the Dragon Country over the much talked about Galwan Valley and advised China to not indulge in such exaggerated claims.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhai Lijian called for a press briefing recently and held India responsible for the fierce standoff in Galwan Valley which resulted in casualties in both Indian and Chinese troops.

"The Galwan Valley lies on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control in the western section of the China-India border. For many years, Chinese border guards have been patrolling and performing their duties normally", the spokesperson maintained.

He added that very soon a commander-level meeting should get commenced to sort the disputes and ground situation between the two nations along the border.
