US keeping an eye on Indo-China border conflict

On the recent developments between India and China over the Line of Actual Control, the United States is keep an eye on it. The Press Secretary of White House, Kayleigh McEnany said that according to President Donald Trump the aggressive stance of Beijing against India and other countries in the region confirms the "true nature" of the Chinese Communist Party.

She also said that the US is closely keeping a watch on the situation and supports its peaceful resolution.

Both the countries’ armies are locked in a bitter standoff in multiple locations in eastern Ladakh for the last seven weeks but the tension grew after 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a violent clash in Galwan Valley on June 15. The Chinese side also suffered casualties but it is yet to give out the details.

"With regard to India and China, we are closely monitoring the situation. The president is doing so as well. And he said that China's aggressive stance along the India-China border fits the larger pattern of Chinese aggression and other parts of the world.

"These actions only confirmed the true nature of the Chinese Communist Party," McEnany said in response to a question during a news conference.

Earlier, during a Congressional hearing, US lawmakers expressed concern over the aggressive Chinese actions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

"This past month, China engaged in deadly clashes along the Line of Actual Control, resulting in the tragic deaths of a dozen Indian soldiers and an unknown Chinese death toll as well," said Congressman Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Select Intelligence Committee, during a hearing on coronavirus and US-China relations.
