China upgrading air defences to counter India: State media
China's state-run Global Times has claimed that the country is strengthening air defences along the Indian border "in order to confront any threat". However, China's Foreign Ministry denied the report, saying that both the countries should work together to uphold peace and tranquillity along the border areas. Last year, India and China engaged in a 73-day-long military standoff in Doklam.
