In a surprising statement, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman on 22 September 2021 stated that the “…Galwan incident took place because India violated all signed agreements and treaties and encroached upon Chinese territory and illegally crossed the Line,” an allegation suitably responded to by MEA Spokesman. The entire schema in 2020 was Chinese deliberate, well-planned, premeditated belligerence. It included mobilisation of two divisions in Aksai Chin and retaining them, the multiple points on intrusions in Eastern Ladakh, and refusal to return to status quo positions. The PLA offensive in 1962 too China had termed the War as “Counterattack in Self Defense on the China-India Border!” In the backdrop of such confrontational attitude and aggression, China calling India as violating all agreements is pot calling the kettle black! Nothing that happens or is said in China is impromptu, extemporaneous or unpremeditated! The statement was timed to coincide with the QUAD Summit in Washington DC, exhibiting grave anxiety and concern.
