China 'pleased' India withdraws from disputed border
China said Monday it was "pleased" that India had agreed to withdraw troops from a disputed border area in the Himalayas following a months-long stand-off.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Chinese personnel on the ground verified that Indian troops and equipment had pulled back in the morning from the area, which is disputed between China and Bhutan.

India's foreign ministry announced earlier an "expeditious disengagement" in the Doklam area after reaching an "understanding" with Beijing on the confrontation that began on June 16.

"I am pleased to confirm that trespassing Indian personnel have all pulled back to the Indian side of the boundary," Hua told a regular news briefing.

"Chinese troops continue to patrol on the Chinese side of the boundary," she said.

The stand-off began in mid-June after Chinese troops started building a road on the remote Doklam plateau.

India -- a close ally of Bhutan -- has an army base nearby and moved soldiers into the flashpoint zone to halt the work, prompting Beijing to accuse it of trespassing on Chinese soil.

China had repeatedly said India must withdraw its troops before any proper negotiation takes place. India said both sides should withdraw their forces together.

Monday's announcement comes days before India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to travel to China for a summit of the BRICS group of countries, which also include Brazil, Russia and South Africa.

Hua said China has "friendly relations with India" and hopes its neighbour can "earnestly abide by historical relations and norms governing international law".

"We will, based on mutual respect for sovereignty, uphold peace and tranquility in border areas with India."

I guess this will mean negative backlash for Modi's government. However, it is still better than the alternative of going to war.

News18.com headline:
"India says 'Both sides withdrawing from Doklam',
China says 'Will keep patrolling'.

China withdrawing troops from land it claims as its own
is surrender to India.

A couple of days ago, you praised Modi as a great leader for seizing territory. I told you he'd be returning it soon. What happened today? LOL

India will be withdrawing its entire presence in every form. China will be withdrawing only the arsenal it recently brought there to scare the droppings out of India. Why would we keep it there? To face no one?

You should change your name from Omarbuzz to Omarspin LOL No one in the world could spin this to look like China "surrendered". If you could, they'd be buying FidgetOmar instead of FidgetSpinner LOLOL

Now regarding your question about the road construction, did you read anywhere in the agreement that China would stop the road-building? If you wrote a contract with someone and it doesn't specify whether or not you'd be paid, do you think you'll get paid? ;)

Not by much because they're having domestic problems right now with that convicted rape Guru that causes mayhem and left at least 31 dead to distract this border issue and save Modi's face.

Has INC capitalized on this yet? Seems like a pretty good opportunity.
