China on Wednesday rejected India's allegations that its army has made an incursion into the disputed Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, saying there are no clear demarcations between Sino-Indian borders.
"China and India border has not yet been demarcated," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters. The non-demarcation of borders has been the standard response of China whenever India has accused of Chinese troops of incursion.

Lu added that Chinese troops were conducting normal patrol on the Chinese side of LAC (Line of Actual Control).
On Tuesday, India claimed that around 250 Chinese troops intruded into eastern district of Kameng in Arunachal Pradesh.
In recent years, both countries have reduced border tensions through various mechanisms like boundary meetings by 'special representatives.' India and China have held 19 border meetings by special representatives, but have not reached any lasting solution to their border issues. New Delhi has proposed for the demarcation of the 3,488 km of the LAC, but China is yet to respond to the proposal.
The latest border tension comes at a time when the Sino-Indian bilateral relationship has been strained due to Beijing blocking India's bid to secure membership in the Nuclear Supplier Group(NSG).
China says it has a territorial right over Arunachal Pradesh state, claiming that the Shimla accord signed between British India and Tibetan government signed in 1914 is entirely illegal. The Tibetan government had ceded Arunachal Pradesh to British India under the Shimla accord.
