Chinese media ups the ante, asks India to withdraw from Dokalam area with dignity

BEIJING: The Chinese official media today stepped up its attack on India with editorials asking Indian troops to move out of Dokalam area in Sikkim sector "with dignity or be kicked out" and describing the situation as "worryingly tense". 

While China's nationalistic tabloid Global Times said India should be taught a "bitter lesson", another official newspaper, China Daily, said India should look in the mirror. 

The Global Times said in its editorial that India will suffer "greater losses" than in 1962 if it "incites" border clashes with China. 

As the standoff in the Dokalam area continued for the third week, it said India should be taught a "bitter lesson". 

It also claimed that the Chinese public was infuriated by India's "provocation".
