Improved roads mean your soldiers can ride instead of having to walk to the jumping off points.
Ping on Chinese incursion.
great...
I'm trying to look on the bright side...at least we don't have to worry about China and India working together against us if they stay mad at each other.
This is not good.
The Chinese are trying to pinch off a part of India so that they can take Bangladesh.
This is actually a passive-agressive declaration of war on India.
We should Bhutan some Claymores, LAWs and other nice 'toys.' Play the same game we used to keep the Soviets from winnign Afganistan.
The chinese really are nothing but fried lice.
The reddened areas are Indian territory that China has occupied or continues to occupy.
Actually, the reddened area on the top-left is what China occupies.
The reddened area on the far-right is what India controls, but is claimed by China as their land.
Wasn't part of the far-right territory occupied by China when China and India had a little skirmish in 1962? From what I've read, China did occupy this area.
They did, but had to retreat when the Soviets began to pressure them. Presently, that region is the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, considered by China to be an "illegal" occupation of "Chinese" soil.

Could get ugly with the Dragon flexing her claws.
Could, but that's why India tested its nukes seven years ago.
Gorgeous pics.
Peking is ruled by a gang of rogue criminals who don't need reasons. If they can establish a salient into Indian territory, that is reason enough for them. Expand their future options a bit, just because they think they can. India will need to assert herself on this, or pay a price later.
Is it just me or does it seem like China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea etc. are "lining up their ducks" for something big? It would not surprise me if another world war breaks out within 5 years and it will be nuclear.
America had better wake up soon or we'll find ourselves at the short end of the stick.
Bill Clinton should be charged with TREASON. God help us if his bi+ch gets elected president.
Bhutan is not a part of India. Like Nepal, Bhutan too has friendly ties, and a visa-free border agreement, with India. Bhutan is weary of China because the Chinese had swallowed their culturally identical gigantic neighbour, Tibet, and the world didn't do a thing about it.
In fact, like Taiwan, most governments, America and India included, recognise Tibet and Taiwan as part of China, based on a "One China" policy.
