Washington:
US diplomat David Stilwell said on Wednesday that India is among countries that China has benefited from since the outbreak of the new Corona virus from Wuhan.
“What we have seen since the outbreak of Corona from Wuhan is that it seems that the People's Republic of China (the People's Republic of China) is trying to take advantage of the situation, and I think India is one of those examples. So for our friends in Beijing, I would like to ask them to follow their commitment to resolving these matters. By peaceful means and dialogue. "
The Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and the Pacific also reiterated Secretary Pompeo's statements that the United States hopes for a peaceful solution to the border confrontation between India and China.
The US diplomat’s comments came after the Indian army thwarted the Chinese army’s attempt on the night of August 29 and 30 to penetrate areas near the southern bank of Pangong Tsu.
The Indian Army said that on the night of August 29/30, the PLA forces violated the consensus reached during the military and diplomatic clashes during the ongoing confrontation in East Ladakh and carried out provocative military moves to change the status quo.
On a question about the border confrontation between India and China, David Stilwell added: "As for the conflict in the Himalayas, like all things, especially the difference in the opinion of the People's Republic of China with its neighbors, do we advise them to return to dialogue and resolve these matters peacefully without coercion and use of force?"
He also talked about China's participation in other areas, saying: “… the many conflicts taking place in the vicinity of China now. You mentioned Tibet. Xinjiang - still very concerned about what they are doing there. Hong Kong activities, the South China Sea - I can continue ".
Earlier in the press conference, Pompeo criticized the Chinese Communist Party for engaging in a clear and intense pattern of bullying its neighbors.
"From the Taiwan Strait to the Himalayas and beyond, the Chinese Communist Party is engaging in a clear and intense pattern of bullying its neighbors. This is also evident in the South China Sea," he said.
