Withdraw troops than talk- The Chinese foreign ministry

Hallo world,

                           The two sides have been locked in an escalating confrontation for more than a month in the southernmost part of Tibet in an area also claimed by Indian ally Bhutan. The crisis was triggered when Chinese teams began building a road onto the Doklam Plateau, known as Donglang in Chinese. The Chinese foreign ministry has said the road work was being carried out on own territory, and urged India to pull back troops 'promptly and unconditionally'.

India on Thursday said it was ready to hold talks with China about both sides pulling back their forces to end stand-off in the Himalayas, but Beijing has insisted its rival withdraw troops first.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said Indian troops had illegally entered is the foundation and re-requisite of any meaningful talks, Lu told a daily press conference.

Liu Youfa, the former Chinese consul general in Mumbai, on Wendnesday told China Global Television Network there were only three options for the Indian forces: withdrawl, captivity, or death.

Indian foreign minister Sushma Swaraj said China had demanding that India move its troos out of the area. " if China wants to discuss the matter, both sidesshould withdraw their forces and talk," Swaraj said.
