New Delhi:
India’s logic on road construction by China in Doklam on the border posed a threat to New Delhi was ‘ridiculous and vicious’, said Chinese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.
The ministry also said that there will be ‘utter chaos’ if Chinese troops entered India on pretext that Indian border infrastructure posed a threat to Beijing.
IANS quoting Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying wrote, “The Indian side illegally crossed the boundary on the excuse of ... Chinese road building. The reason is ridiculous, vicious and facts are clear."
The IANS further writes, "You may think about it. If we tolerate India's ridiculous logic, then anyone who dislikes the activity at his neighbour's home can break into its neighbour's house. 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?"

Indian and Chinese troops have been locked since June in a stand-off at Doklam in the Sikkim section of the Bhutan-China border.
The lock between the nations begun after Indian troops stopped Chinese troops from building a road in Doklam.
Bhutan protested against Chinese road building in Doklam claiming the area to be their territory. India backs Bhutan’s claim and sees a construction of road by China in the area as a threat in the region.
While, China claims Doklam part to be part of Chinese territory since ancient times.
