China is confronting Bhutan after beating India
After beating India in Doklam in the year 2017, China is facing Bhutan this time instead of directing India. China’s PLA Army is in a state of conflict with the Royal Army of Bhutan. In February this year, China’s PLA Army objected to the patrolling of the soldiers of Bhutan on the banks of the Amo-Chu river near Doklam.
China objected to Tibetan shepherds as Tibetan
During the flag meeting, the Commander of the Bhutan Army bluntly told the PLA Army of China that the Chinese soldiers did not cross the Amo Chouta river and come to the eastern bank, so patrolling is being done. China’s PLA Army is now objected to calling Tibetan shepherds adjacent to Doklam as Tibetan. The PLA has instructed Bhutan to address these shepherds in the name of Chinese shepherds.
The Army Chief’s visit to Bhutan is taking place at a time when China has continued to strengthen its military infrastructure in Doklam. Army spokesperson Colonel Nishant Arvind said that India, Bhutan and expansionist China is keeping a close watch on the border talks to resolve their regional disputes. This includes Doklam in the west and the Chalung and Pasmalang valleys in the north.
