This statement resulted in a lot of head-scratching about what exactly he meant. It set Twitter off on a quest to figure out its meaning.

In the clarification issued by PMO today, there is no word on this bit of PM’s speech yesterday which is the real issue that strengthens the Chinese argument. https://t.co/Kzh8Zpe8EO
