We cannot be viewed as expansionist: China

BEIJING: Shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech in Ladakh where he said expansionists must learn to mend their ways or perish, China responded to say it is “groundless” to view Beijing as “expansionist”.” China has demarcated boundary with 12 of its 14 neighboring countries through peaceful negotiations, turning land borders into bonds of friendly cooperation. It’s groundless to view China as “expansionist”, exaggerate and fabricate its disputes with neighbours,” said Ji Rong, spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in India.
