China has been stunned by the US general's criticism of its military build-up on the Indian border in eastern Ladakh. Terming the criticism of a US military official as an "abominable act", China said some US officials were trying to spoil its ties with India. China called it an act of "adding fuel to the fire" and said that it has the ability to properly resolve its issues through dialogue with India.
US Army Pacific Commanding General Charles A Flynn, who visited India, said on Wednesday that China is rapidly building military and setting up settlements near the Indian border in eastern Ladakh. This step of China is not only worrying but also eye-opener.
Reacting to Flynn's statement, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Thursday, "This border issue is between India and China and both countries have the will and ability to resolve this issue through dialogue."
Zhao further said, 'Some US officials are trying to add fuel to the fire and make allegations. This is abominable work. We hope that they will do more to contribute to regional peace and stability. .
It is noteworthy that the Commanding General of the Pacific Region of the US Army, Charles A. Flynn attacked China's leftist government and criticized provocative activities such as large military preparations along the border. He called this hostile behavior of China a bell for the Indo-Pacific region. He had raised the question that what is the intention of China behind so many preparations on the border. He had said that China is saying something else and doing something, which is very worrying.
