The issue was not just about a road, it was about defending Bhutan against China, how are they supposed to defend Bhutan when they just withdrew? Until today still no mention of road cessation on either side. China escalated in Ladakh, and mobilized troops, to pressure India. Ultimately, they caved in like puppies.
The entire Bhutan narrative was created to stall the construction of a Chinese road where India deemed harmful militarily and strategically. India merely played the Bhutan card and "intervened" on the latter's behalf (even though Bhutan never acquiescenced). But everybody saw through this and hence India did not receive any international support for its illegal activities.
They were trying to make Doklam a trilateral issue and failed. This was Doval's plan, to make India assertive. China was assuming India was friendly in a demarcated zone and even informed them about the road building activities. We even allowed pilgrims to Tibet to build trust, open up Nathu La for trade, these ingrates back stabbed us. Now India is enemy number one....the image of India has changed. We are aiming at India now, funding for separatist movements will increase, Pakistan will be priority number one, Gwadar will be activated very soon.
You're misunderstanding the point. India turned this issue into that of a trilateral one because it wanted to stop Chinese road construction even though it was on Chinese territory. They were afraid that the Chinese road would improve logistics to the point that the PLA would cut off Siliguri Corridor (and thereby NE India) very quickly. Thus, India created this trilateral narrative based on how it was "protecting" Bhutan from "Chinese agression" and so on ...
It will continue. If any country can just send in troops to protect their interest, it will be a dangerous precedent. US can just land in SCS islands and stop our base building. My personal belief is this is not just because of a road, the road was just an excuse for an neo Indian assertive policy, they are trying to make Doklam a trilateral dispute. It could be a base or radar station there tomorrow, so? Modi is playing a dangerous game, good that he backed down. Else, the whole NE will be carved up.
The point of Modi backing down is to prevent this from becoming a precedent. He's also afraid that China might intervene in Jammu & Kashmir on behalf of Pakistan, similar to what India did with Bhutan. India has already learned its lessons and for the foreseeable future will not attempt to do anything stupid. Regarding the US, attacking a Chinese artificial island or military installation would be regarded as an act of war by the international community. Unless the US envisions WWIII, it best not do anything to that respect.It will continue. If any country can just send in troops to protect their interest, it will be a dangerous precedent.

Well, he shouldn't have even started that shit. He could have just lodge a complaint to China instead of sending in troops. He did none of that, China even had the courtesy to inform India that they are gonna build roads there. These fckers took the goodwill for granted and sent in troops. Is this a peaceful act? Now when forced to retreat, they are still claiming victory.
We were very prepared in disputed areas, but we never thought these back stabbers would make Doklam a dispute in a demarcated area. They were trying to make it a trilateral issue, we just made them withdraw and now it's only between us and Bhutan like it should have been. Next time they cross that border, NE will be carved up.

And that was China's mistake. Why do you need to inform India when you are building a road in your territory?
China has virtually every military and operational advantage over India possible. The only problem is Indian troops outnumber Chinese by a factor of 20 to 1 in the Eastern Sector. China has been slow to build up its troops there, and hence should heed the lessons of India's incursion.
We never had the intention but things are changing. Chinese position had always been defensive, we will mobilize troops only when needed. Weapons and technology wise, they lose big time, but posturing wise, we are not aggressive. Read Chinese MOFA statements, in light of recent development, China will start changing their deployment patterns.
Where is THE ROAD?
Where is THE ROAD dear China?
China has been utterly humiliated by Modi.
They have run away with their tails between their legs.
Not even their moronic media and their confused cheerleaders can save them from the utter & complete humiliation Modi put them through.
If I were China leaders, I would hang all the people who were responsible for this fiasco that lead to their utter humiliation.
