Mike Pompeo answered questions about the Chinese intrusion into Indian territories.
Washington:
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday that the Indians had done their best to respond to China’s “incredibly aggressive actions”, saying that Beijing had a pattern of “triggering” territorial disputes and that the world should not not allow these bullying to take place.
“I have spoken several times with Minister (s) of Foreign Affairs (S) Jaishankar about this (aggressive Chinese actions). The Chinese have taken incredibly aggressive measures. The Indians have done their best to answer it, “said Pompeo. journalists at a press conference here.
Mr. Pompeo answered questions about the Chinese intrusion into the Indian territories of eastern Ladakh.
Troops from India and China are locked in an eight-week deadlock in several parts of eastern Ladakh, including Pangong Tso, the Galwan Valley and the Gogra hot springs. The situation deteriorated last month following clashes in the Galwan Valley, which left 20 people dead in the Indian army, the two sides having significantly increased their deployments in most areas along the LAC.
The Chinese military began withdrawing troops from the Galwan Valley and the Gogra hot spring on Monday after national security adviser Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had lengthy discussions on Sunday. Doval and Wang are also special representatives of the India-China border talks.
“I put this in the context of (Chinese) Secretary General Xi Jinping and his behavior in the region and, in fact, around the world,” said Pompeo.
“I don’t think it is possible to examine this particular example of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) aggression in isolation. I think you have to put it in a larger context,” he said.
The CCP recently filed a border dispute with Bhutan at a meeting of the Global Environment Facility.
“From the Himalayan mountain ranges to the waters of the exclusive zone of Vietnam, passing through the … islands and beyond Beijing, there is a tendency to provoke territorial conflicts,” said Pompeo.
“The world should not allow this harassment to take place. Nor should it allow it to continue,” said the top US diplomat.
Reiterating that the CCP has engaged in maritime and border disputes, he said that there are not many neighbors who can satisfactorily say that they know where their sovereignty ends because the Chinese Communist Party will respect this sovereignty. “It is certainly true now for the people of Bhutan,” he said.
“This is what the world must come together to respond to, this growing revisionist effort to which the Chinese Communist Party is committed. This is something that President (Donald) Trump has taken incredibly seriously,” he said. he declares.
China is involved in hotly contested territorial disputes in the South China Sea and the East China Sea. Beijing has built and militarized many islands and reefs it controls in the region. Both regions are said to be rich in minerals, petroleum and other natural resources and are vital to world trade.
China claims almost all of the South China Sea. Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have counterclaims in the region.
