China has called the alleged trespass of Indian troops of its border near Sikkim as “very serious”, and has accused New Delhi of violating a convention signed in 1890 between Britain and China relating to Sikkim and Tibet.

“The Sikkim section of the China-India boundary has been defined by the Convention between Great Britain and China Relating to Sikkim and Tibet (1890),” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said on Monday. He said the crossing the defined boundary by the Indian troops has amounted to a breach of the historical convention, the UN Charter and the basic principles of international law.
