China calls Sushma Swaraj a liar, says US support to India 'illusory'

The Chinese state media has lashed out at India's External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj and called her a liar. China's mouthpiece Global Times said that, 'India's invasion of Chinese territory is a plain fact. New Delhi's impetuous action stuns the international community. No other country will support India's aggression,' the report said.

Sushma Swaraj had said in Parliament on Thursday that India's position is not wrong on the trijunction and all nations are with it. The report said that she was lying to Parliament.

Further the report suggested that India should 'abandon the fantasy of a long-term standoff at Doklam'. It also warned of China resolving the 'conflict through non-diplomatic means'. '

It said India's stance has subtly shifted and it has started referring to Doklam as a tri-junction area of China, India and Bhutan. 'These changes show New Delhi's guilty conscience,' it also



said.

'India should have heard about the news that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has deployed troops near the China-India border and transported materials and supplies to the area. The PLA is also reportedly conducting drills for mountain operations. These are certainly not for show. Now that the PLA has moved in on the China-India border, they will definitely not call back troops unless they recover the Chinese territory,' the GT report said.

The report also spoke about China's military might and said that the country cannot afford to lose an inch of territory. The China-India border area may become a stage where China showcases the achievement of its long-term military development and reforms the report also said.

Get prepared for all possibilities from a potentially grave escalation of tension in the future. US and Japan's support to India is 'illusory,' the report also said.
