#1 SHEBAA FARMS - a similar isue may be brewing, or about to brew, btwn CHINA-INDIA, as various sources > China has informed India that part of its NE area actually is part of TIBET > ergo PART OF CHINA PROPER, that China will never give up its claims on same, and that its return to China will greatly improve China-India relations. The DELHI gummermint, already under presure from MAOIST insurgents in many of the northern provinces, is unwilling to surrender/turn over any more lands as a matters of national pride, i.e. CHINA BECOMES LARGER,INDIA SMALLER. Iff turned over to China, either voluntarily or by warfare, China will find itself in a much stronger regional geostrategic position via other nations of SOUTH-SE ASIA.

#3 Joe M - interesting that they just built that "tourist" railroad to Tibet IIRC. Adequate to support troop/material delivery
