When asked whether she will raise the issue of Chinese incursions during her meeting with Wang, Swaraj replied, “Yes”. Chinese Army has reportedly made a fresh incursion in Chumar area in Jammu and Kashmir and refused to return. Tension in the area erupted last Sunday when some Chinese workers, who were constructing a road on their side, crossed into the Indian side and also claimed that they had orders to build a road up to Tible, 5-km deep inside Indian territory.
