Beijing accused the US of trying to jeopardize easing tensions between China and India in a bid to establish “military hegemony.”

China accused America of trying to create “discord between China and other countries”, after the Pentagon published a report suggesting that China might try to dissuade India from strengthening its ties with America. Beijing maintains the situation at the border “is generally stable.” Still, India is massively ramping up its military infrastructure there to deter China in a potential future conflict, according to The Wall Street Journal.
