7. Since the incident broke out, India has invented various excuses to justify its illegal action, but its arguments have no factual or legal grounds at all and are simply untenable.

7、事件发生以来，印度炮制种种"借口"为其非法行为辩护，有关说法在事实和法律上毫无根据，根本不能成立。

8. The China-India boundary in the Sikkim Sector has already been delimited, and the Dong Lang area is Chinese territory. China's road building on its own territory is aimed at improving local transportation, which is completely lawful and legitimate. China did not cross the boundary in its road building, and it notified India in advance in full reflection of China's goodwill. The Indian border troops have flagrantly crossed the mutually-recognized boundary to intrude into the Chinese territory and violated China's territorial sovereignty. This is indeed a real attempt to change the status quo of the boundary, and it has gravely undermined peace and tranquility of the China-India border area.

8、中印边界锡金段已经划定，洞朗地区是中国领土。中国在自己的领土上进行道路施工，目的是为了改善当地的交通，完全正当合法。中国修路活动没有越过边界线，而且提前通报了印度，最大限度体现了善意。印度边防部队公然越过双方承认的边界线，侵入中国领土，侵犯中国的领土主权。这才是真正企图改变边界现状，也严重破坏了中印边境地区的和平与安宁。

9. India has cited "serious security implications" of China's road building as a justification for its illegal crossing of the boundary. According to UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 adopted on 14 December 1974, no consideration of whatsoever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for the invasion or attack by the armed forces of a State of the territory of another State. To cross a delimited boundary and enter the territory of a neighboring country on the grounds of so-called "security concerns", for whatever activities, runs counter to the basic principles of international law and basic norms governing international relations. No such attempt will be tolerated by any sovereign State, still less should it be the normal way of conduct between China and India as two neighboring States.

9、印度以中国修路活动带来"严重安全风险"为自己的非法越界行为辩护。联合国大会1974年12月14日通过的3314号决议规定，不得以任何理由，不论是政治性、经济性、军事性或其他性质理由，为一个国家的武装部队侵入或攻击另一国家的领土作辩解。以所谓的"安全关切"为由越过已定边界线进入邻国领土，无论从事任何活动，都违反国际法基本原则和国际关系基本准则，都不会为任何一个主权国家所容忍，更不是中印两个邻国正常的相处之道。
