BEIJING Wholesale Tennessee Titans Jerseys , Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- Indian troops' trespassing into Chinese territory is irresponsible and reckless, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Thursday.


Spokesperson Geng Shuang made the remarks in response to a question regarding China's road building in the Dong Lang area, mentioned in a position document on the border incident.


The document, ""The Facts and China's Position Concerning the Indian Border Troops' Crossing of the China-India Boundary in the Sikkim Sector into the Chinese Territory,"" was released Wednesday.


According to the document, road building in the Dong Lang area on the Chinese side of the Sikkim Sector of the boundary aims to improve local transportation, help local herdsmen and facilitate border patrols.


""China had notified the Indian side about the road works through the border meeting mechanism on May 18 and June 8 and the Indian side did not make any response,"" Geng said.


Over 270 Indian troops crossed the border on June 18.


""As of August 2, there were still 48 Indian troops and one bulldozer in Chinese territory,"" he said, adding that there are still a large number of Indian armed forces congregated on the Indian side of the boundary.


India ignored existing mechanisms and channels and flagrantly dispatched armed troops into China and have refused to withdraw, Geng said, calling it illegal under international law.


In response to China's position document, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said that peace and tranquility on the India-China boundary was an important prerequisite for the smooth development of bilateral relations.


Geng said the Indian side is always keeping ""peace"" on the tip of its tongue.
