China has warned India not to be <x0 Groups behind fantasies” with tense border debates, including Butan.
The area includes a controversial territory of the Himalayas, the world's highest mountain.
Earlier, China has conducted direct exercises in the area, while the Indian government deployed troops there.
China's “Determination and determination to protect national security and sovereignty is firm,” said in a statement Monday, spokesman for the defence ministry Colonel Wu Qian, quoted by the AP.
His statements come ahead of the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA).
Our “Army means the security of our country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Our determination has never wavered. It's easier to shake a mountain than to shake PLA in”, he said.
China and India's ally Butan have objections to the narrow Doklam Plain, which crosses three countries for decades. India says that the area belongs to Bitan.
Tensions between Beijing and Delhi escalated this June, when Chinese teams started building a road on the plateau.
Butan called for help from India, which sent its troops across the border.
