It is 'no war, no peace' at Doklam

A Chinese daily on Wednesday once again raised the rhetoric and said that the military countdown had begun.

Even as China raised the rhetoric once again amidst the Doklam standoff, Indian officials say it is a 'no war, peace,' situation out there. Both sides have not moved in any additional forces or artillery amidst the stand off and this is a signal that situation is heading towards a calm down.

A top official in New Delhi informed OneIndia that there is absolutely no tension at the area. The standoff continues and we hope that will withdraw, the official said. China on the other hand has maintained that troop withdrawal would be a pre-condition for talks. India has however rejected the same outright.

There has been no extraordinary movement by both sides in several days now. The standoff has lasted for over 50 days now and India says that it does not see the situation worsening.

A Chinese daily on Wednesday once again raised the rhetoric and said that the military countdown had begun. India however rubbished the same while saying that China is looking for a solution desperately and wants us to make the first move.
