China engaged in ‘border war’ with India: US senator

Washington: China is engaged in a “border war” with India and is posing a grave threat to its neighbours, top Republican lawmaker John Cornyn has told the US Senate, giving details of his visit to New Delhi and Southeast Asia to understand the challenges faced by countries in the region.

Senator John Cornyn, who is also the India Caucus Co-Chair, and his Congressional colleagues have just returned from a visit to India and Southeast Asia to get firsthand experience of the challenges being posed by China.

The most urgent and grave threats are against countries closer to China’s borders, Cornyn told members of the Senate on Tuesday.
