US worried over China bullying India, other neighbours: White House

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ The United States is concerned by China’s attempt to ‘intimidate’ its neighbours, including India, as Washington believes that Beijing’s behaviour in the region and around the world could be ‘destabilising’, the White House has said, asserting that America will continue to stand with its partners. The remarks of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki came ahead of the 14th round of military-level talks between India and China on the 20-month row in eastern Ladakh.

Asked about China’s aggressive behaviour on its border with India and if the topic came during America’s talks with China or Washington sending any message to Beijing on this, Psaki, during her daily news conference on Monday, said that the US continues to closely monitor the situation along the India-China border.”We continue to support dialogue and peaceful resolution of these border disputes,” she said.

“We’ve been pretty clear how we view Beijing’s behaviour in the region and around the world. We believe it can be destabilising. And we’re concerned by the People’s Republic of China’s attempt to intimidate its neighbours.”We’ll continue to stand with our partners on that,” Psaki asserted.
