India-US Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi on Wednesday criticized China for its recent aggression against India and stressed the need for the United States to continue working with India.
Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said in a recent statement to parliament that Chinese forces tried on December 9 to “unilaterally” enforce the status quo along the Line of Effective Control (LAC) in the Yangtze River basin of the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh to change, but the Indian Army with its “firm and resolute” response forced them to retreat.
I am troubled by the Chinese Communist Party’s recent show of aggression in invading Indian territory with its forces, Krishnamoorthi said in a statement.
While I am grateful that this clash did not result in any serious casualties by Indian forces, it serves as a further reminder of the Chinese Communist Party’s growing belligerence and the need for the United States to continue working with India and all of our security partners in the region, to counter Beijing’s aggression, he added.
