Doklam standoff: Modi should be aware of our military might says China

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be aware of PLA's overwhelming firepower, the Chinese have said. Speaking about the military might of China, an article in the Global Times said that the PLA is perfectly capable of 'annihilating all Indian troops' in the border region. This Modi administration is 'recklessly breaking international norms and jeopardizing India's national pride and peaceful development', the article also said.

If the Modi government doesn't stop, the article warned 'India of pushing itself into a war that India has



no power to control'.

External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj had said in Parliament that war was not a solution, wisdom was to resolve the issue diplomatically.

The standoff at Doklam has entered into its 50th day. While China had said that India has reduced its troop strength, officials in New Delhi denied the same. However during an official briefing of the Ministry for External Affairs, the issue was not discussed. On the other hand, India has said that China has slowly started to wind down its troops at Doklam.
