Because the LAC has not been mutually clarified – China reneged on a 2001 promise to exchange maps with India – China claims that PLA troops are merely camping on “Chinese land.” Yet, in a replay of its old strategy of furtively encroaching on disputed land and then presenting itself as the conciliator, China now counsels “patience” and “negotiations” to help resolve the latest “issue.”
实际控制线并不是双方公认的——中国违反了2001年于印度交换地图的承诺——因此中国宣布解放军只是在“中国领土”上扎营。但是，中国在重演其暗中渗透争议领土然后以调停者面目出现的故技，提出要以“耐心”和“谈判”帮助解决最新的“问题”。
