China on Wednesday termed the construction of a road in the Sikkim sector “legitimate” and asserted that it was being built on Chinese territory that neither belongs to India nor Bhutan and no other country had the right to interfere.
China also hinted that India was objecting to its efforts to build the road in Donglang area of the Sikkim sector on behalf of Bhutan, which does not have any diplomatic ties with Beijing.
“Donglang is part of China’s territory. This is indisputable. The Donglang area belonged to China since ancient times and it doesn’t belong to Bhutan,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told the media in Beijing.
