and the update is going to be quick:...
disputed area of
is APPROXIMATELY marked by black dots above;
it stretches
I'm going to look at additional terrain features later;
- down to the mountain I marked (but can't find the link now LOL obviously I didn't make it up as my imagination couldn't be that high), and
- toward the confluence of two rivers which I of course don't know, but which I highlighted;
reportedly the Chinese began to build a road (I put question marks completely approximately above) from
to that disputed area
it's very very exotic
I don't think the Chinese road enters the nature reserve. It certainly hasn't been mentioned by either Bhutan or India. If it were a nature reserve, the Indian media will be making a big hype out of it. I believe you are wrong here.No the disputed area is somewhere between Chumbi Valley and Doka La pass.28 minutes ago
and the update is going to be quick:
one of the rivers from the above post is
but I found about
I'm no supporter of Greens or something, but why on Earth would somebody build a road into a Nature Reserve?! and since this is Sino, ehm, Defense here ... I'm out:
It is China's policy not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, as it signed for when it became a member of the United Nations, and unlike India that still gives room to the "Tibetan government-in-exile". It is also unnecessary to interfere in India as that country is well able to maintain internal chaos.Or China can also help Indian's separatist movements who request helps from China, there are so many ways to play this to India's disadvantage its not even funny, I hope China takes all of the opportunity it can.

actually this one is going to be last:
one: I assume the disputed area is "the Doklam area near the Bhutan tri-junction" (quote is from I saw posted in previous page here), which I assume is
which I approximately marked above
two: I assume
is shown in purple in the map in the bottom of
Jigme Khesar Strict Nature Reserve
officially looking webpage:
three:
using the map from #2, I approximately marked in red the town of Yadong, and the road to the interior of China, and in green the China-India border:
it's obvious the tri-junction IS in that Nature Reserve
the first time I looked at the situation (until about ten minutes ago I had no idea Bhutan is involved, too, so obviously I'm not implying anything at all):
...
Shaded in white is territory under China's control.
Yellow line is an existing road.
White dashed line is road China is building.
White blocked out area is where Bhutan has a garrison.
The India-China border in this area is settled while the Bhutan-China border is disputed.
