“There are differences and problems between India and China. China and India should continue with friendly exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation,’’ the Consul General said. He said India continues to engage with China diplomatically and has been coordinating with Bhutan to find a mutually-acceptable solution to the Doklam standoff. “If China backs down now, India may be emboldened to make more trouble in the future,’’ it added. Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang said Thursday that while Chinese armed forces had shown “utmost goodwill’’ and a “high level of restraint’’ in the face of the Indian troops, “restraint has its limits’’.
