Newsweek: China Tells U.S. to Stay Out Of Its Border Fight with India

China is calling on the United States to stay out of an ongoing standoff between the People's Republic and neighboring India, which are locking horns as Washington seeks to utilize warming ties with New Delhi against Beijing.

Ji Rong, spokesperson for China's embassy in India, criticized remarks made earlier this week by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun, who blamed the tense row at the contested Galwan Valley region on Beijing's "outsized demands to claim sovereign territory" during a discussion with the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum. Using familiar terminology, the Chinese diplomat accused Biegun of harboring a "zero-sum Cold War mentality" and characterized seven decades of Communist Party rule as peaceful.

While modern China has managed to largely avoid all-out wars it has long been in embroiled in a bitter disputed over the ill-defined Himalayan highlands that link it to India.

I'm pretty sure that India doesn't need help from the US in taking care of China. Their military has deep roots in conflict and toughness.
