China is engaged in a” border war”with India and is posing a grave trouble to its neighbours, top Democratic legislator John Cornyn has told the US Senate, giving details of his visit to New Delhi and Southeast Asia to understand the challenges faced by countries in the region.
Senator John Cornyn, who’s also the India CaucusCo-Chair, and his Congressional associates have just returned from a visit to India and Southeast Asia wherein they had a immediate experience of the challenges being posed by China.
“The most critical and grave pitfalls are against countries closer to China’s borders,”Cornyn told members of the Senate on Tuesday.
” Last week, I had the chance to lead a congressional delegation visiting Southeast Asia to gain a better understanding of the pitfalls and challenges in the region,”he said.
“It (China) threatens freedom of navigation in transnational waters, and it’s shamefaced of gross mortal rights abuses against its own people, videlicet the Muslim nonage Uyghurs. It’s engaged in a border war with India and it threatens to foray the Republic of China, else known as Taiwan,”Cornyn said.
Cornyn said that they travelled to India where”we met with Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi and Cabinet officers to bandy pitfalls posed by China as well as other participated precedences.”
The border standoff between the Indian and Chinese colors erupted on May 5 last time following a violent clash in the Pangong lake areas and both sides gradationally enhanced their deployment by rushing in knockouts of thousands of dogfaces as well as heavy artillery.
As a result of a series of military and politic addresses, the two sides completed the advancement process in the Gogra area in August and in the north and south banks of the Pangong lake in February.
Still, India and China failed to make any advance at their 13th round of military addresses on October 10 in resolving the standoff in the remaining disunion points in eastern Ladakh.
In the Philippines, he said, they caught a lift on a cortege aircraft in disputed waters.
