India-China Standoff: China 'Warns' India of Retaliation after India Spoils Chinese Misadventures at Borders! - Report

New Delhi thwarted Beijing’s salami-slicing techniques by occupying key Line of Actual Control heights. Post this episode the Chinese media, Global Times released a statement which threatened India. It said that China might retaliate against India for the same.

The Global Times’ opinion column read, "New Delhi might believe that China is facing heavy pressure from the US and focusing on handling tensions on its eastern side, such as in the Taiwan Straits and the South China Sea, so it assumes that it would be a good chance for India to push forward and force China to make a compromise." It further blamed India for being “aggressive” and added that the Chinese troops will attack; “no matter what kind of pressure China is facing to the east, India will surely pay a heavy price.”

China blaming India seems unacceptable to the Indian government because China began sparking tension amid the LAC first and diverted the world’s attention towards the border tension while battling against the deadly new coronavirus infection. China also made the first provocative military movements at Pangong Tso, it further ambushed the Indian troops in the Galwan Valley resulting in the death of Indian soldiers.

India has further made it clear that the tension in Ladakh over the past month is because of China’s actions and that the only way to resolve this is through negotiations.
