China-India border tension remains despite growing economic ties: US

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ The Pentagon has said that tension continues to exist along the disputed portions of India-China border even though the economic relationship between the two countries have increased in recent years.

According to Pentagon, China’s use of force in territorial disputes has varied widely throughout its history. “Tensions persist along disputed portions of the Sino- Indian border, where both countries patrol with the armed forces,” the Pentagon said in its annual report to the Congress.

In September 2016, an Indian patrol observed that more than 40 Chinese troops had set up a temporary shelter within Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh, which China also claims as South Tibet, it said.
