China's Foreign Ministry has also urged the Indian side to launch a thorough investigation of this matter.
The Chinese ministry said Indian border guards recently entered the Chinese territory and obstructed normal activities of Chinese frontier forces in the Donglang area while the Chinese side has taken counter-measures.
The ministry also said in view of the above event, China has to postpone arrangements for the Indian official pilgrims to enter China at the Nathu La Pass for safety reasons.
China and India reached a consensus on the Sikkim segment of the Sino-Indian borders after India gained independence.
Earlier, China's defense ministry also warned that the provocation by the Indian side has violated the consensus and agreements on border issues between the two countries' governments and seriously endangered the peace of the border area.
