China on Thursday i.e. 3rd September criticised what it described as “meddling” by the US in the border standoff with India, saying Beijing and New Delhi have the ability to resolve their disputes bilaterally.

Ji said China favours a “fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution through peaceful and friendly consultations”. She said, the two sides have been in talks at various levels to seek a peaceful settlement of the boundary issue.

Ji Rong added, “China and India have the ability to resolve their border disputes bilaterally. We don’t accept countries outside the region pointing fingers, let alone meddling or making instigation, which will only endanger the regional peace and stability.”
