Australian Defense Minister: Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles said that China's dogmatic attitude in the South China Sea is the same as it has been towards India regarding the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Marles said that China should show commitment to resolving the border dispute through the process of negotiations under international law. It is a matter of concern for any country to try to resolve the border dispute with the neighboring country by force.

 

During a conversation with the Australia High Commission, Marles said, "We have never seen before the way China is doing new construction work around it. All this has been done during the last decade. He said that in the past few years, Over years, China's attitude has seen the development of a sense of dogma."
