Chinese foreign ministry has blamed India for the stone pelting near the Pongong Lake in the Ladakh sector of the border on 15 August, and said Indian troops started throwing stones at Chinese military personnel who were conducting routing patrolling activity.

The incident raised the temper on the India-China border which has seen troops from both sides restricting themselves to wresting and some amount of shoving and pushing over past two months.

“According to our information, on 15 August, the Chinese border troops conducted normal patrol on the Chinese side of the LAC (Line of Actual Control) around Pangong area,” ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said.

“During this process, the Indian side took some violent actions and injured the Chinese border personnel. This has violated the consensus between the Indian and Chinese side in relation to the border issues.” she said.

Indian officials had earlier said that Chinese troops had entered the Indian border and pelted stones at Indian soldiers.

Hua said that, “China has expressed grave dissatisfaction and we have lodged serious concerns to the Indian side”. Beijing also told India “to strictly discipline the conduct of the Indian border troops to earnestly uphold the peace and tranquility of the boundary area of the two sides.”

“The Indian side has violated the consensus on the stability of border areas and threatened that situation of the west section of the China-India border,” Hua said.

Meanwhile, sections of the Chinese media including the ultra nationalist Global Times and Lianhe Zaobao newspaper quoted experts saying that China’s People’s Liberation Army were conducting live fire drills in the western sector close to the Indian border to “strike awe in India” which has been involved along with China in a military standoff at Doklam for over two months.

Chinese television also showed a five-minute long video of a military drill involving ten PLA’s units that including its aviation and armoured troops.

There was no official confirmation about the drill. A similar claim by the Chinese media was rejected by Indian officials recently.
