China warned on Thursday that a "forced decoupling" of its economy with India, following a clash in eastern Ladakh's Galwan Valley last month in which 20 Indian soldiers died in the line of duty, would hurt both countries. The Chinese ambassador said China was not a strategic threat to India and that the "general structure that we can't live without each other remains unchanged".
The statement came after the Central government's recent moves to ban Chinese applications, even as the de-facto border, the Line of Actual Control, remains tense.
"China advocates win-win cooperation and opposes a zero-sum game," Ambassador Sun Weidong wrote on Twitter.
Our economies are highly complementary, interwoven and interdependent. Forced decoupling is against the trend and will only lead to a 'lose-lose' outcome," he added.
Officials say Chinese troops have intruded on to India's territory in the remote western region. China, however, claims it has not breached the LAC.NDTV
