| China occupies more Indian territory |
| 2007-05-08 |
| As India and China move to resolve their differences over borders, there is one aspect both countries have carefully refrained from talking about: that China has moved up to 20 km into India and grabbed a portion of the 90,000 sq km area of the Northeast that it claims as its own. Though India has consistently denied that China has occupied its territory, the MP from West Arunachal, Kiren Rijiju of the BJP, said he has received written replies from the ministries of external affairs and defence, indicating that they were aware of the inroads made by the Chinese. “I have their replies, admitting that there are problems and the government is trying to sort them out,” Rijiju told DNA. Earlier, the Centre had sought a report from the state on the matter, which resulted in a detailed note being sent to the Union home ministry in 2005 by the state police. The document said the Chinese had started their foray into Tawang district in 2004, covering an unspecified huge area that includes several villages. According to Rijiju, the areas under foreign occupation include the Sumdorong Chu valley, the Asapila and Lungar camps, large portions of grazing lands used by villagers, and some strategic points. A helipad in Sumdorong Chu has also been under Chinese control for two years, he said. Repeated attempts by DNA to obtain comments from the Chinese embassy were turned down by its officials. |

| #6 If it's really Indian territory then India should use it as an above-ground nuclear testing site. |

| #4 This shit has gotta end. China needs a smackdown so bad that they should have an aftertaste of canvas in their mouth already. Like I mentioned over in the swine epidemic thread, all foreign aid flowing into China needs to be withdrawn. They need to pay the piper for all of their constant aggression, environmental destruction, patent theft, intellectual property violations and propagation of some of the most virulent disease strains in recent history. Remember, China is singlehandedly responsible for the world's worst medically caused AIDS crisis. How much monetary aid should we send them to fight these self-imposed epidemics so that they can free up internal funds for more nuclear weapons and land grabs? China's monumental hubris makes Islam look like the spastic underachiever it is. Too bad our politicians are so easily bought off as to avoid all consideration of what will be needed to thwart this looming threat. |
