Wow, changing the goal post again huh? Have you ever checked the map and the satellite pictures. China had never ever occupied Doklam plateau for decades, there were only roads in that area. Due to it's disputed nature, we were only patrolling in that area up until now. The main base had always been Yadong in Chumbi Valley.Okay , once and for all the dummies :
1.Entire Doklam is disputed territory between china and Bhutan .
2. It's North Doklam which the chinese forces has occupied for decades now . Bhutan has accepted chinese de facto occupation .
3. But by stop china from the building the road at southern Doklam last year , india has made sure South Doklam is defacto Bhutanese territory .
4. All chinese activities remain confined to North Doklam and China has done anything after disturb the status quo beyond the spot of dispute of last summer in south Doklam .
So after this when we occupy the ridge, are you gonna say we have been occupying it for decades? . Damn, you still want to save face till the end. Here is a map for your recap.
Batang La/Merug La/Senche La was the so called Indian recognized border, the whole region beyond that was disputed. Hence China wanted to negotiate with Bhutan to exchange territory. Roads was build all around the plateau but no defensive structure nor soldier were stationed there. The strategic portion was the plateau currently occupied by China.
There had never been South or North Doklam, there is Doklam which consists of Doklam plateau, Jampheri Ridge and the valleys of Amo Chu. You are trying really hard to SAVE FACE HERE.
