China on Monday
confirmed via on-site checks that
India has withdrawn personnel and equipment from Dong Lang (Doklam) after a military stand-off lasting more than
two months.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that
Chinese personnel completed the on-site checkaround
2:30 p.m., adding that China
will continue to safeguard its territorial sovereignty according to
historical boundary treaties.
The Chinese government values its neighborly friendship with India, Hua said. It expects India to respect historical boundary treaties and basic principles of international law, and to work with China to safeguard peace and stability in the border area on the basis of mutual respect of each other's territorial sovereignty.

two bulldozers crossed the boundary in the Sikkim sector and advanced more than
100 meters into Chinese territory to
obstruct routine road construction in the Dong Lang area of Tibet Autonomous Region.

2) Chinese soldiers were present and checking the withdrawal
3) China will continue to exercise sovereignty over Doklam

Please check India MEA statement, no mention of road cessation agreement nor mutual withdrawal by both parties. Only the word 'disengagement' was used to cover up withdrawal.
