Chinese and Indian soldiers have been locked in a face- off in the Doklam area of the Sikkim sector for over a month after Indian troops stopped the Chinese army from building a road in the disputed area.
The Chinese Army moved tens of thousands of tonnes of military hardware into the remote mountainous Tibet region after the standoff with Indian troops in the Doklam area in the Sikkim sector .
The PLA Daily report, however, did not say whether the movement of the military equipment was to support the exercise or for other reasons.
The indian External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj said that while China is trying to change the status quo in the Doklam tri-junction area",India is well equipped to defend itself and doesn't feel threatened in the least
The minister said that while China wants India to withdraw its troops , "it's only fair that China too should do the same".
