The White House has refused to confirm a news report that the US provided crucial real-time intelligence to the Indian military last year that helped it successfully repel the Chinese "incursions" in the Himalayas. "No, I can't confirm that," John Kirby, National Security Council coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House told reporters at a daily news conference here on Monday when asked about the news report. In an exclusive report, the US News said that India was able to repel a Chinese military incursion in border territory in the high Himalayas late last year due to unprecedented intelligence-sharing with the US military, an act that caught China's People's Liberation Army off-guard, enraged Beijing; and appears to have forced the Chinese Communist Party to reconsider its approach to land grabs along its borders.
