China Passes New Border Law Amid Tensions With India

Recently, China passed a new border law to protect the land border areas that can escalate a major border dispute between China and India. Though the new border law will not change the way border security is handled, it reflects China's confidence to manage its frontiers. The report said: "The state shall take measures to safeguard territorial integrity and land boundaries and guard against and combat any act that undermines them. Chinese military and military police - the People's Liberation Army and the People's Armed Police Force are responsible for guarding the border against any invasion, encroachment, infiltration, provocation," The new law also allows China to conduct drills and carry out border duties to prevent and stop combat invasion, and other acts. One of the aspects of the new Chinese border law states that the state would support the construction of border towns and improve their functioning. In recent years, China has been quite aggressive regarding their borders and have been strengthening border infrastructure, including the establishment of air, road and rail networks. China passed the new border law amid the stand-off between the Indian and the Chinese side in Eastern Ladakh. https://youtu.be/912cPDeSF7M
