The OP is very very big news and an ominous development by China. I'm surprised that it is not being discussed much. Imagine if the americans in Afghanistan, came into Pakistani territory and started laying down fibre optics and building other infrastructures on our territory. That would be a clear indication of the americans having conquered our land permanently and having no intention of EVER giving it up. Also, notice that for all the big talk, hot air and bluster, the indian public and government are keeping well quiet about this and not even mentioning it. That is a tacit admission of defeat by the indians and their acceptance of the Chinese having annexed indian territory. Even the indians on this forum are not addressing or countering the OP. Make no mistake, this is HUGE news and something that will have major repercussions in the coming years and decades ahead.
