Top U.S. Pacific Commander Says China Has 'Not Yet Withdrawn' From Several Forward Positions Along The LAC With India

SCMP 


Washington: China has adopted an increasingly assertive military posture to exert pressure and expand its influence across the region and the Chinese expansionary territorial ambitions are also on display along its western border, where its troops have been engaged in a standoff with Indian forces, a top American commander told lawmakers on Tuesday. 

During a Congressional hearing, Admiral Philips Davidson, Commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that the greatest danger for the United States in this competition with China is the erosion of conventional deterrence. 



WNU Editor: India has not responded to the US Admiral's remarks that China has not withdrawn from several forward positions along the LAC. But India did voice its displeasure a few days earlier on China not withdrawing from certain key sections along the LAC .... 'Ensure disengagement at other friction points on LAC': India tells China again (Hindustan Times).

Why are they acting surprised that China didn't live up to their promises?
