India should not take any chances and should abandon illusions it may harbor about the Chinese military's ability and determination to defend its territory, the Defense Ministry said in the latest response to Indian troops trespassing in Doklam in Chinese territory.

The 90-year history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army demonstrates the Army's growing ability and its adamant determination, to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian told a news conference on Monday in Beijing.

"It is easier to shake the mountains than to shake the PLA", he said.
