CHINA STANDOFF : The armies of both countries have been engaged in a
standoff since June 16 in Sikkim section where India and China share a
220-km-long border.
China has maintained that there
won't be a meaningful dialogue without the unconditional withdrawal of Indian
troops.
Meanwhile, India maintains that the
unilateral action by China to build a road in the area was altering the status
quo and had serious security implications for India.
Doklam is disputed between China
and Bhutan, whose ally India backs Bhutan in its claims over the region. At the
tri-junction China, India, and Bhutan, Doklam is of strategic importance to all
three.
Beijing wants New Delhi to withdraw
troops from Doklam. New Delhi is in favour of a simultaneous pullback of both
Indian and Chinese troops.
