BEIJING: China accused India on Wednesday of 鈥渃oncocting鈥� excuses over the illegal entry of the South Asian nation鈥檚 military into Chinese territory on their disputed border, adding that China had shown great restraint.
The stand-off on a plateau next to the mountainous Indian state of Sikkim, which borders China, has ratcheted up tension between the neighbors, who share a 3,500-km (2,175-mile) frontier, large parts of which are disputed.
Early in June, according to the Chinese interpretation of events, Indian guards crossed into China鈥檚 Donglang region and obstructed work on a road on the plateau.
The two sides鈥� troops then confronted each other close to a valley controlled by China that separates India from its close ally, Bhutan, and gives China access to the so-called Chicken鈥檚 Neck, a thin strip of land connecting India and its remote northeastern regions.
India has said it warned China the road construction would have serious security implications.
In a statement, China鈥檚 Foreign Ministry said the Indian military was still in Chinese territory, and that China had acted with a great deal of restraint, demanding that India withdraw its forces.
鈥淏ut the Indian side not only has not taken any actual steps to correct its mistake, it has concocted all sorts of reasons that don鈥檛 have a leg to stand on, to make up excuses for the Indian military鈥檚 illegal crossing of the border.鈥�
The ministry reiterated that the border had been agreed in 1890 by the governments of China and Britain, India鈥檚 colonial ruler until 1947, and later with the Indian government.
India鈥檚 actions are not only a serious encroachment of Chinese territory, but a challenge to regional peace and stability and normal international order, it added.
Indian officials say about 300 soldiers from either side are facing each other about 150 meters (yards) apart on the plateau.
They have told Reuters that both sides鈥� diplomats have quietly engaged to try to ensure the stand-off does not escalate, and that India鈥檚 ambassador to Beijing is leading the effort to find a way for both sides to back down from confrontation without losing face.
