Washington: US Congressman Jim Banks welcomed India’s decision to ban Huawei and ZTE from its telecom network.
“Always best to push back against Chinese Communist Party thugs. India will not be intimidated. A strong, wise decision!” Banks said.
A top American Senator has said that for the sake of grabbing territory, the Peoples’ Liberation Army (PLA) of China appears to have instigated the most violent clash between the two Asian giants.
In a major foreign policy speech on the floor of the House, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said, “On land, for the sake of grabbing territory, the PLA appears to have instigated the most violent clash between China and India since those nations went to war in 1962.”
“Needless to say, the rest of the world has watched with grave concern this violent exchange between two nuclear states. We are encouraging de-escalation and hoping for peace,” he said.
He added: “But the world could not have received a clearer reminder that the PRC is dead-set on brutalising people within their own borders, challenging and remaking the international order anew in their image to include literally redrawing the world map.”
