NEW DELHI–U.S. Army Pacific Commanding General Charles Flynn has raised concerns about the build-up of Chinese defence infrastructure on the India-China border during a recent visit to India.

“I believe that the activity level is eye-opening and some of the infrastructure that is being created in the [Chinese Army’s] western theatre command is alarming,” Flynn told journalists in New Dehli after holding talks with Indian Army Chief General Manoj Pande on June 8.
