China lists Doklam among its major diplomatic achievements

the Chinese government has listed its "handling of the Indian border troops trespass" in Doklam as among its six major diplomatic achievements of 2017.

"China's Foreign Affairs 2018", an official diplomatic record published by the Department of Policy Planning of the Foreign Ministry and described by Foreign Minister Wang Yi as an "authoritative" guide on China's "analysis of the major changes" in the world, presents an official overview of China's diplomacy in 2017 and Beijing's view of the world in the previous year.

The book's second chapter, which focuses on China's diplomacy, lists six major "breakthroughs" in diplomacy in the past year under the Xi Jinping government, the sixth of which was that Beijing "firmly safeguarded national sovereignty and lawful interests". "China handled the Indian border troops' trespass into its Donglang area peacefully through diplomatic means, upholding its territorial sovereignty while making sure that China-India relations stay on the right track," it said.
