Addressing the ongoing border face-off between China and India, Indian
Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj told her country's parliament on Thursday
that "all countries are in India's support," and said India is alert to
the need to protect its security near "the border where the boundaries
of China, India and Bhutan meet," Indian media reported Thursday.
She
was lying to the parliament. First, 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. Second, India's military strength is far behind that of
China. If the conflict between China and India escalates to the
intensity where their row has to be resolved through military means,
India will surely lose.
India should abandon the fantasy of a
long-term standoff at Doklam. China will by no means agree to the
withdrawal of troops from both sides in order for talks to be held.
Doklam is Chinese territory. The withdrawal of Indian troops must be a
precondition for talks and China will not compromise on this stance.
