China slowly engulfing parts of Bhutan, wants strategic advantage against India: Report
China has been pushing Bhutan to open full relations with China that would allow it to have a diplomatic presence in Thimphu, which won't be a good move for India's influence in Bhutan.
China has been developing the 232-square-mile area with settlers, security personnel, and military infrastructure originally belonging to Bhutan. The new construction commenced under President Xi Jinping’s significant drive to out-maneuver India and its neighbors along Himalayan frontiers. The occupation of the land is aimed at pressuring the Bhutanese government to surrender territory that China wants elsewhere in Bhutan to gain military in the struggle with India.
So far, China has constructed 66 miles of new
roads, a small hydropower station, two Communist Party administrative centers, a communications base, a disaster relief warehouse, five military or police outposts, and what is believed to be a major signals tower, a satellite receiving station, a military base, and up to six security sites and outposts that China has constructed. China says they are parts of Lhodrak in the TAR but which in fact are in the far north of Bhutan according to the
report published by Foreign policy.
