Quoting a statement from Beijing the Hindustan Times reported, “The rights and wrongs of this incident are very clear.
The Chinese foreign m ministry also refused to divulge details of the ongoing talks between the militaries of both sides.
“China and India are in communication with each other to resolve the situation on the ground through diplomatic and military channels. I have no information to release on that,” Hindustan Times reported quoting Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian.
The Chinse foreign ministry spokesperson’s statement came in response to a query by Indian MoS for roads VK Singh.

The Chinese government, however, has refused to divulge the PLA’s casualty figures.
