China prepares to step up border security after Rawat's statement

Controversy over CDS General Rawat calling China a threat to India

Statements by Indian officials could lead to breach of peace on border: China

BEIJING: Amid ongoing border disputes between India and China over East Ladakh, a statement by Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat has been hotly debated. CDS General Bipin Rawat called China the biggest security threat. As a result, China is now divided and Rawat's statement is considered dangerous.

At the same time, China has stepped up troop movements on the LAC. A spokesman for China's Ministry of Defense, Senior Colonel Wu Qian, said such statements could escalate tensions between the two countries. Senior Colonel Wu Qian spoke on the issue during an online media briefing in Beijing.

He claimed that for no apparent reason, Indian officials considered the Chinese military a threat. Such statements are irresponsible. China's stance on the Indo-China border issue is clear and China is committed to maintaining peace on the border.

On the other hand, there are reports that China has begun preparations to increase its military capabilities on the LAC, as it did last winter. There are reports that China may again try to provoke the Indian military by increasing its military capabilities on the border.

On the other hand, the Indian Army is also ready to face any situation. According to an Indian Army official, the Chinese were not able to cope with the cold last winter so they were replaced every two days. However, Indians are able to protect the border even in such weather.
