CHINA PRESS: China has demanded that India carry out a thorough investigation

into the recent border incident and severely punish those who should be held

accountable, Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in a

telephone call late Wednesday with Indian External Affairs Minister S.

Jaishankar. According to a statement on the ministry website, Wang asked his

counterpart to strictly discipline Indian frontline troops and immediately stop

all provocative actions. Wang said that on Monday night, Indian frontline border

troops blatantly broke the consensus reached at commander-level talks between

the two sides. Although the situation in the Galwan Valley had eased, Indian

troops once again crossed the Line of Actual Control in a deliberate provocation

and violently attacked Chinese officers and soldiers who were there to

negotiate. This triggered fierce physical conflicts and casualties, the

statement read. India must not misjudge the current situation or underestimate

China's firm will to safeguard its territorial sovereignty, Wang added.
