China claims that the situation at the Indian border is resolvable.

After a continued standoff between Indian and Chinese armies at the Line of Control, China says the situation is “overall stable and controllable”.

On Wednesday, China said that the situation at the Indian border is “overall stable and controllable”. The foreign ministry spokesman of China said that issues must be resolved through dialogue and consultation and that both India and China have proper mechanisms and communication channels to do so. These comments come after a continued standoff between the Indian and Chinese armies at the Line Of Control. 

During a media briefing, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that the position of China on issues related to the border is clear and consistent. Referring to the directions of President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi after their two informal summits, Zhao claimed that they have been following the important consensus reached by the two leaders and rigorously observing the agreements between the two nations. Zhao urged the armies of both the nations to take confidence building measures to maintain peace and tranquility along the borders. 

A day after Chinese President Xi ordered the military to mount up the battle readiness, visualizing the worst case scenario Zhao said that they were commuted to safeguard their territorial sovereignty and security with also securing peace and stability in the border region. Now, the situation at the Indian border is overall stable and controllable. Confirming that the diplomatic efforts were on to ease the tensions at the border, Zhao said, “Between the two countries, we have good border related mechanism and communication channels. We are capable to resolve the issues completely through dialogue and consultation.”   

The Indian ministry of external affairs spokesman Anurag Srivastava in an online press briefing had earlier said, “Indian troops are familiar with the alignment of Line of Actual Control at the Indo-China border regions and abide by it scrupulously”.
