China grows larger, builds road 5Km into Indian territory - Polidicks

[QUOTE]SUMIR KAUL (Leh): India and China may have announced an end to their 20-day stand-off in Ladakh sector, but the situation has not entirely settled down judging from a recent incident when the Chinese intercepted an Indian Army patrol and prevented it from going to line of actual control (LAC). The incident took place near Finger-VIII area, also known as Siri Jap, on May 17, two days before Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang arrived in New Delhi after it was announced that the stand-off resulting from a 19km deep Chinese intrusion had ended. It was claimed that the intruding Chinese troops had gone back to their previous positions. While the Udhampur-based Army spokesperson refused to comment on the incident, official sources said there was a brief stand-off at the Finger-VIII area after which army patrol returned without proceeding to the LAC. The sources said that after the incident all patrols were stopped by the Ladakh-based 14 Corps including the one proposed to be sent in Depsang plain, where Chinese army had pitched tents for nearly three weeks beginning from April 15. China has managed to construct a road up to Finger-IV area which also falls under Siri Jap area and is five km deep into the LAC, the sources said. Chinese claim in their maps that this area falls under its area where as Indian Army has been claiming it to be part of Ladakh and have often cited the 1962 war when armies of both the sides fought bitter battles in this area. Major Dhan Singh Thapa was awarded Param Veer Chakra for fighting PLA in the area.

[QUOTE=The golden;40802729]Everything is "disputed territory" to China.[/QUOTE] pretty much :v:

[QUOTE=NoDachi;40802719]its disputed territory but still a dick move[/QUOTE] If it's disputed, then all the more they shouldn't go in.

[QUOTE=The golden;40802729]Everything is "disputed territory" to China.[/QUOTE] Oh, Taiwan is also a disputed territory And so is Japan, because during the Qing Dynasty the Emperor sent some people looking for the elixir of life and they went to hide in 'Japan' so yeah Japan is part of China

Oh man, that's what I do in Civ5 to make future invasions easier

[QUOTE=Headhumpy;40802774]If it's disputed, then all the more they shouldn't go in.[/QUOTE] Well my point was is that its not exactly as if they just drove straight into India and started building.

[QUOTE=shian;40802847] And so is Japan, because during the Qing Dynasty the Emperor sent some people looking for the elixir of life and they went to hide in 'Japan'[B] so yeah Japan is part of China[/B][/QUOTE] Please, stop making things up.

Considering the method in which many of these overland territories (and Taiwan) became disputed in the first place, it's kind of pointless to be snide towards them disputing it in the first place

[QUOTE=Swebonny;40803124]Please, stop making things up.[/QUOTE] I was being sarcastic

-snip- wrong thread

China just has to antagonize a possible business partner doesn't it. [QUOTE]Chumar, a remote village on Ladakh- Himachal Pradesh border, has been an issue for Chinese which claim it to be its own territory and have been frequenting it with helicopter incursions almost every year. [/QUOTE] I really don't see the fuss over such small sections of territory. I like how the western world generally lets the local people decide.
