TIL Desk/World/Washington/ China under President Xi Jinping has stepped up its ‘aggressive’ foreign policy toward India and ‘resisted’ efforts to clarify the Line of Actual Control that prevented a lasting peace from being realised, according to a report released by a United States Congress appointed commission.
The armies of India and China have been locked in a bitter standoff at multiple locations in eastern Ladakh for the last seven weeks, and the tension escalated after 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a violent clash in the Galwan Valley on June 15.
‘Under General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Xi Jinping, Beijing has stepped up its aggressive foreign policy toward New Delhi. Since 2013, China has engaged in five major altercations with India along the Line of Actual Control (LAC),’ said a brief issued by US-China Economic and Security Review Commission.
‘Beijing and New Delhi have signed a series of agreements and committed to confidence-building measures to stabilise their border, but China has resisted efforts to clarify the LAC, preventing a lasting peace from being realised,’ said the report and was prepared at the request of the Commission to support its deliberations.
