It appears that China is not serious at all about the ongoing disengagement and de-escalation talks at various levels over the border issue, given its frequent provocative transgressions at different points (Page 1, “PLA aggression blocked at Pangong Tso”, September 1).

China’s new aggressive actions could be to pressurise India into accepting the current status quo on the border.
