Months after India and China ended a tense border standoff over China's attempt to build a road in Bhutanese territory - Doklam, Chinese soldiers with road-building machines reportedly crossed up to 200 metres in Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh in late December.
According to a Hindustan Times, Chinese soldiers had almost reached a border village in the Upper Siang district of the state before the Indian army stopped them and seized their road building machines including two excavators.
The incursion took place around the time India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and China's state councillor Yang Jiechi held border talks
