While standoff between India and China remains a top subject between the two countries and top leaders from India and China exchange claims regarding border issue, worries have been raised by people in other countries too.
The latest being an Indian-American Congressman who has urged China to end its military provocations of India and pursue a diplomatic resolution to the tense border standoff in Ladakh. India and China have been engaged since June when loss of lives in a face-to-face fight between soldiers became an issue.
Raja Krishnamoorthi said this following a classified briefing on the issue by the House Permanent Select Committee on intelligence, of which he is the first and only Indian-American member. The committee’s meeting was the first ever on the issue.
“I am deeply concerned about this issue, which is why I authored a bipartisan resolution overwhelmingly approved by the House urging China to end its military provocations of India,” Krishnamoorthi said. “I will closely monitor this dispute until it is fully resolved,” he said.
India’s defence minister Rajnath Singh has made a statement in the Lok Sabha, saying Beijing has been very clearly conveyed that any attempt to unilaterally change the status quo along the Line of Actual Control is not at all acceptable.

Rajnath Singh said there should be no doubt about the country’s determination to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and asserted that India’s armed forces are ready to deal with all contingencies in the high-altitude region.
Earlier Thursday, Lisa Curtis, deputy assistant to the US president, told a top American think-tank the US is encouraged by India’s strong yet responsible approach to the Chinese aggression.
