China engaged in border war with India, posing threat to neighbours, claims US lawmaker

China is engaged in a border war with India and is posing a serious threat to its neighbours, United States lawmaker John Cornyn claimed before the country’s Senate on Tuesday, according to PTI.

Cornyn, who is the co-chair of the Senate’s India Caucus, made the statement after leading a delegation of the US Congress to India and South-East Asia last week.

“It [China] threatens freedom of navigation in international waters, and it is guilty of gross human rights abuses against its own people, namely the Muslim minority Uyghurs,” the lawmaker said. “It’s engaged in a border war with India and it threatens to invade the Republic of China, otherwise known as Taiwan.”
