BEIJING: China says it is in communication with India on easing tensions through diplomatic and military channels after the recent deadly border clash between the troops of the two countries in the Galwan valley.

Chinese Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson during his regular briefing in Beijing on Friday reiterated that regarding the serious situation in the Galwan valley, the right and wrong is very clear and the responsibility entirely lies with the Indian side.

Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson of the Chinese foreign ministry, made the remarks at media briefing in response to questions whether diplomats or military officials of the two sides were involved in resolving the issues.

Zhao said that the incident was very clear as it happened on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC), and the responsibility did not rest with China. 

Indian media reported on Tuesday that three Indian soldiers had been killed, citing the Indian Army, but later updated the number to 20. Indian reports also claimed there were Chinese casualties. On whether there would be further clashes along the border, Zhao said the Chinese side does not want to see more clashes.
