Beijing, February 12

China continues to differ with Nepal over the height of Mount Everest and sticks to its own calculation of the world's highest peak which is four metre less than the Kathmandu’s measurement.

China’s response came after reports said that Beijing had agreed to accept Nepal’s measurement of the mountain, which is almost four metre taller. The Chinese media has contradicted the recent ‘The New York Times’ report that China had recognised the mountain's height as 8,848 metre. — PTI
