China threatens to escalate border tensions with India

The Xi Jinping regime on Monday evening threatened that China-India border tensions will “surely escalate this time,” since India had “crossed the LAC and purposely launched provocations.” The statement issued in Chinese state-run Global Times came after India on Monday morning revealed that it had pre-emptively thwarted Chinese intentions to unilaterally change the status quo on the southern bank of Pangong Tso in eastern Ladakh.
