Chinese are goading and goading GoI into some sort of response- verbal or physical.
When the threats of "direct action" failed to yield anticipated returns, they have switched track and and speaking about formalising the PLA presence in PoK.
The fact is that Cheenis and Napakis did not need any treaty when PLA started settling down in PoK under the guise of "engineers and workers" building the "friendship highway". In the past there were reports of PLA and Napaki fauj carrying out joint patrols.
If Cheenis wish to make it official, so be it. The implications go far beyond this region. US, Japan, SoKo and Australia will be watching closely- if today Cheenis are formally placing their troops in PoK, tomorrow they could do the same in NoKo, Philippines, Paupa New Guinea, Venezuela, Fiji, Kenya, Djibouti (they have a base), Qatar etc.
Basically, in upping their stakes, Cheenis are disclosing more and more cards than holding them close to their chest and a lot of people are rubbing their hands in glee.
