Another flareup happened earlier this month when India said Chinese troops fired shots after Indian troops took vantage positions on five strategic mountains within the Indian side of the LAC on 29-30 August. Indian public opinion in general was positive about the Jaishankar Wang meeting during which, the two countries “demonstrated political will to resolve the border situation," Sun said. During the meeting, Wang had told Jaishankar that as neighbours India and China were bound to have differences. This follows India banning 118 Chinese mobile phone apps and barring Chinese investments in roads, telecom and other areas. Wang had conveyed to Jaishankar that India must “immediately stop provocations such as firing," Sun said.
