These predictions on Doklam are getting funnier and funnier.
In the Doklam region China claims Batang La, Doka La and Gymochen. Buts has control over none.
The Chinese failed to take Batang La in 2007.

As of 2017, they failed to take Doka La
But future predictions - China will reach Gymochen?
Any sane individual with common sense will realize that If PLA attempts to move South towards Gymochen then PLA will get sandwiched between Indian troops from Batang La and Doka La.
Without taking over Batang La, it was foolish of PLA even attempt to take Doka La and not surprisingly PLA faced resistance from two sides and eventually gave up in Doka La.
Its like saying PLA will reach Mexico by land through Canada and USA without taking over Canada and USA and not expecting any resistance from Canada or USA
Just because India could do a Blitz Krieg in East Pakistan 1971 Pakistanis here enamored by what IA did, think China can do the same in Himalayas.
No wonder a ex PLA colonel termed it a humiliating defeat for China:
“Despite Beijing’s deliberate ambiguity, China has apparently made substantial concessions in order to end the dispute,”
“India has got exactly what it has wanted. It was a humiliating defeat for China to cave in to pressure from India despite all the tough talk,”
