Bipartisan resolution in US Congress against China

August 18, 2020 16:57

A bipartisan resolution was introduced in US Senate Thursday that seeks to condemn Chinas use of military aggression to change the Line of Actual Control with India and calls for a diplomatic solution.

"Today US Senators John Cornyn and Mark Warner, ranking member of Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, introduced a resolution to condemn Chinas use of military aggression to change the status quo at the Line of Actual Control between India and China. This follows instances of Chinese military forces harassing Indian patrols as well as increased troop deployments and infrastructure construction in contested areas."

Without specifically mentioning the Indian ban on Chinese apps, the resolution seeks to commend India for taking steps to secure its telecommunications infrastructure from Chinese security threats and seeks a commitment to to deepening defense, intelligence and economic ties between the United States and India and supports bilateral and multilateral partnerships such as the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, to promote a rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific.
