China's Army Threatens India, Warns of Response Amid Border Stand-Off In Himalayas
Published on Jul 24, 2017
In its strongest statement yet on the stand-off in Doklam, China's People's Liberation Army said on Monday it would "safeguard China's sovereignty whatever the cost", and demanded a withdrawal of Indian troops as the "basis" for resolution. The PLA told India to not "harbour any illusions", and revealed it had undertaken an "emergency response" measure in response to the incident and would "further step up deployments" in the area.

China and India are locked yet again in a stand-off of Himalayan proportions. Almost five weeks after Indian troops trespassed and forcibly halted the activities of a Chinese road construction crew on a narrow plateau at the China-Bhutan-India tri-junction area in the Sikkim Himalayas, the two sides appear no closer to resolving their quarrel. The area in question, Doklam, is the subject of a legal dispute between China and Bhutan, is under the effective jurisdiction of China, and holds an important security interest to India.
