The US has once again backed India amid provocation by China at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Secretary of state, Mike Pompeo has said that the entire world is beginning to unite against China's unfair practices. He also predicted an anti-China axis by countries like US, India, Japan, Australia and South Korea to take on China. US intelligence assessment reports also say that China deliberately provoked India with a new intrusion at Pangong Tso earlier this week. The report reveals Beijing was enraged after its local commander withdrew forces when a physical conflict appeared imminent.
