Idiom usage

The verb object type is used as predicate and attributive to express another ulterior motive and attempt. On July 7, foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang responded to India's so-called "three countries' border point" saying that the illegal crossing of the border was located on the Sikkim section of the Sino Indian border, more than 2000 meters away from jimmazhen snow mountain, which had nothing to do with the issue of the three countries' border point. It is obvious that India has ulterior motives to ignore the provisions of the border treaty and regard the whole donglang area as the boundary of the three countries.
