“India should not leave things to luck and not harbour any unrealistic illusions,” Qian was quoted as saying by Reuters. “We strongly urge India to take practical steps to correct its mistake, cease provocations, and meet China halfway in jointly safeguarding the border region’s peace and tranquillity,” he added. The impasse began after Indian troops stopped China from building a road in a disputed region along the 3,500 kilometre-long border.
