‘Won’t ease tensions’, says China on India’s move to add more troops at border

According to a spokesperson from China’s foreign ministry on Friday, the increase in troop presence by India at the contested border is viewed as counterproductive to the alleviation of tensions. The Uttar Bharat (UB) Area in Bareilly, primarily designated for administrative, training, and peacetime purposes, is set to undergo transformation into a fully-fledged corps. This restructuring involves the incorporation of additional infantry, artillery, aviation, air defense, and engineer brigades.
