China dismisses Ladakh court ruling, asserts border dispute with India
TL;DR Summary
China has dismissed the Indian Supreme Court's ruling on the legal status of Ladakh, a region at the center of a deadly border dispute between China and India, as "irrelevant" to its territorial claims. China stated that it has never recognized Ladakh as a union territory set up by India and that the western section of the China-India border has always belonged to China. The ruling came after the 28th round of diplomatic talks between China and India aimed at resolving their border dispute, which turned deadly in 2020. Despite ongoing disengagement efforts, tensions persist along the Line of Actual Control.
