#1 Sometime in the last five thousand years, some representative of the Chinese Emperor took a crap in Bhutan.. it is therefore Chinese territory and will soon return to the motherland...

#3 I heard that Mohammand himself farted in Bhutan once in a drug-induced 'holy' vision. So the entire region must be the 13,234th holiest place in Islam or something and must be returned! If only to respect the Islamic culture.....

#4 Rumor has it the Ruler is stepping down at the end of the year. Wonder if China is looking to influence and destabilize. Haven't read the Kuensel lately. But it's time for some joint military excersizes with Dehli and Thimphu.

#5 "...the roads were being built as part of the economic development programmes for western China..."

#6 IIRC Road building preceded the invasion of Tibet.
