Context
- China echoed its demand that Indian troops should pull out from the Doklam plateau in Bhutan by pointing to Beijing’s concerns regarding the revamp of India’s border infrastructure.
Explanation
- Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that there would be “utter chaos” if Chinese troops entered Indian territory in order to counter New Delhi’s moves to improve its military infrastructure along the China-Indian frontier.

- “Does that mean when China thinks that large-scale construction of infrastructure at the border area of India is posing a threat, it can enter Indian territory? Wouldn’t that be utter chaos?” Ms. Hua added.
- Her remarks follow the conduct of live drills by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) at an unknown location, seemingly to reinforce the perception that a military option in Doklam was under active consideration.
