Ready to strike heavy blow’: Chinese state media warns amid India-China LAC tensions

Srinagar: The situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh continues to remain tense with troops of both countries locked up in standoffs at several points along the de-facto border.

The two countries had last week reached a five-point consensus to resolve the border standoff. The consensus was reached in a meeting between External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Moscow, on the sidelines of the SCO meeting.

The two sides agreed to “quickly disengage” troops, avoid action that could lead to escalation in tensions, undertake measures to restore “peace and tranquillity” along the LAC
