US General: China’s military structures near the Indian border are worrisome.
US Pacific Commander warns of Chinese military moves on western border with India.
General Charles Flynn, commander of US forces in the Pacific, said on Wednesday that China’s destabilizing behavior in the Indo-Pacific region was not beneficial and that some of the defense infrastructure being built by China near its border with India was worrying.
“I believe that the level of activity is significant and I think some of the infrastructure that has been built in western China is a warning,” General Flynn was quoted as saying by the Indian website Outlook India. . »
According to the report, the Armed Forces of India and China have been relatively calm on the border east of Ladakh since May 2020, when heavy fighting broke out in the Pangong Lake area. Last month, it emerged that China was building a bridge around the strategically important Pangong Tsu Lake east of Ladakh and could help its military quickly mobilize troops in the region. China also has other infrastructure, such as roads. And has created residential areas on the border with India.
General Flynn went on to say that the ongoing negotiations between India and China are useful.
“Behavior is also important here,” he said. “So understanding what they (China) are saying is one thing, but how they behave with regard to construction is worrying.”
India and China have so far held 15 rounds of military talks to resolve the conflict in eastern Ladakh. Each side currently has about 50 to 60 troops stationed along the border control line.
In a new reaction, media sources reported on Monday that India had successfully tested a short-range nuclear missile.
The Agni-4 ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead was successfully tested on Monday under the command of India’s Strategic Forces, according to the India Today website. The range of this ballistic missile is 4000 km.
