China on Monday dodged a direct response to reports of presence of People’s liberation Army (PlA) troops at a forward post in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and said it “regretted” that the media keeps “popping up” stories of incursions into the Indian side of the lAC.
“I have not heard about the incident you mentioned,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman lu Kong said, replying to a question about the presence of PlA troops at a forward post opposite Nowgam sector in the PoK. In response to another question on reports of recent incursions of PlA troops on the Indian side in the ladakh sector, Kong said “there is no such thing as going beyond the border”.
