China infra build-up near LAC alarming, says US commander

A senior US military commander on June 8 said some of the defense infrastructure that is being set up by China near its border with India is alarming and the corrosive behaviour of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the Indo-Pacific region is simply not helpful.
General Charles A Flynn, Commanding General, United States Army Pacific, while talking to reporters here, said: “The (Chinese) activity level is eye-opening. Some of the infrastructure that is being created in the western theatre command is alarming.” The western theatre command of the Chinese army borders India, facing Ladakh. India and China have been locked in a standoff along the LAC since May 5, 2020, whenthere was a violent clash between the two sides in the Pangong lake area.
The US General, who is on a four-day visit to India, met Army Chief General Manoj Pande on Tuesday and discussed issues related to defence cooperation.
Flynn said when one sees China’s military arsenal in all domains, one must ask the question why is it needed.
“I do not have a crystal ball to tell you how it (India-China border standoff) is going to end…. I will express to you that it is worthy of asking this question and try to get their response as to what are their intentions” he noted.
