The crisis began in mid-June when the Indian Army ‘prevented Chinese troops from building a road in Doklam’....
India is for a simultaneous withdrawal from Doklam, which, it says, belongs to its other neighbor Bhutan. Beijing says the area belongs to China and has asked India to stay out its dispute with Bhutan.
