Countdown to war begins, India must come to its senses: China

TIL Desk/World/Beijing/ The countdown to a military conflict between India and China has begun and New Delhi should come to senses and withdraw troops from Doklam before it’s too late, a China’s state run said on Wednesday.

An editorial in the state-run told India that the “clock is ticking away”. The piece was latest addition to the hostile commentaries in the Chinese media. The newspaper said “India will only have itself to blame” if it didn’t withdraw troops from Doklam where its troops are locked in a stand-off with the Chinese Army since mid-June.

“The countdown to a clash between the two forces has begun, and the clock is ticking away the time to what seems to be an inevitable conclusion,” it said. “As the standoff … enters its seventh week, the window for a peaceful solution is closing.”

China has warned India of serious consequences if Indian troops were not pulled back from Doklam, which Beijing calls Donglang and claims is its territory. India has proposed to China to simultaneously pull back from Doklam, which India and Bhutan say belongs to Thimpu. Beijing has refused. The newspaper said India had ignored China’s stern warnings.
