Chinese troops reach India's LAC: US ​​Secretary of State Pompeo

Washington, Ta. 02 June 2020, Tuesday

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday that China is acting like a real authoritarian regime. He said that like a dictatorial regime, China has sent its troops closer to India's Line of Actual Control (LAC). "We are constantly seeing China increasing its military presence along the North Indian border, the Line of Actual Control," said Mike Pompeo.

The deployment of Chinese and Indian troops in several areas of Ladakh and Sikkim has increased in the last few weeks, leading to tensions between the two countries' armies.

Targeting China, Pompeo said China has been reckless in fulfilling its role around the world in the face of the global epidemic of Covidovirus-19. In Hong Kong they are attacking the freedom of the people. He said, ‘The Communist Party of China is increasing its presence in the South China Sea, stealing intellectual property. Such decisions are dictatorial and what they are doing will affect not only the people of China or the people of Hong Kong but the whole world. "

Mike Pompeo said that China has always been doing what it is doing on the Indian border. "It's not just the last six months," he said. We have seen that China has been increasing its military capabilities for the last several years and is adopting a very aggressive stance. China is running ports or belts or road initiatives in many places around the world. Where they can increase their Navy deployment. We are constantly seeing them increase their military capabilities.
