Mithi charge "incompatible with the facts": China China claimed that it has been strictly observing the Line of
Actual Control (LAC) along the boundary with India and said reports of Chinese repeated
incursions were "incompatible with the facts. The accusation made by Arunachal Pradesh
Chief Minister Mukul Mithi of repeated incursions by Chinese troops into the State was
"incompatible with the facts," Zhu said. "China has solved or basically solved boundary issues left over by history with most of its adjacent countries," the paper, released by the State Council, Chinas cabinet, says without giving a status on the Sino-Indian boundary dispute. India says China is illegally occupying 43,180 sq kms of Jammu and Kashmir including 5,180 sq kms illegally ceded to Beijing by Pakistan under the Sino-Pakistan boundary agreement in 1963. On the other hand, China claims that India has occupied about 90,000 sq kms of Chinese territory. The document notes that Chinas land
borders total more than 22,000 km in length, its mainland coastline stretches for some
18,000 km and it neighbours more than 20 countries, either contiguous or separated by
stretches of sea.
