Japan Doklam Standoff

Japan has come out strongly in support of India in the two-month-long Doklam standoff near Sikkim and said there should be no "unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force".

China is unlikely to gain from the border standoff with India as the road being built by it in the Sikkim sector's Doklam area leads to nowhere and the move would push India closer to the US and Japan, an American expert said on Friday.
