The talks are getting the first time after the nap in the Galvan Valley in 2020, and the first will be such a meeting in the last five years.

China in Doklam: This year was revealed in October

However, it is not new to the village settlers that have been revealed recently. Earlier in October 2024, a report on the side of the Network Turquoise Roof (Turquoise Roof) of Tibetan Analysts was released in October 2024, which was reported that China has settled 22 villages in the border of Bhutan. 19 of these 22 villages in China are fully residential villages, while there are three low-business areas. They will later be replaced in small towns. While the construction work began in seven of these 22 villages was revealed at the beginning of 2023.

752 residential blocks have been created in these villages, with a plan to settle 2284 families. In addition, 7000 people including officers, construction personnel, border police and military personnel are being settled in these villages. China has captured about 825 sq km Ilaka of Bhutan to create these villages. At the same time, these villages have been built in areas with quite a sloping terrain and a high valley, with a height from the sea to 3832 m. The most elevated village of China settled is located at a height of about 4670 meters from Menchuma Marine.

China in Doklam: Importance of Doklam

According to satellite data, eight of these villages have been built around Doklam Pathhar since 2020. The strategic position of these settlements is a concern for India, as these are located near the "Siliguri Corridor" of India. According to the Turcoise Roof report, China is putting pressure on the Bhutan to keep the Northeast areas near it and hand over the Doclam Plateau China. In the 1990s China had proposed Bhutan, but Bhutan had rejected it. While China’s activities could have a direct impact on India. India has to adopt a solid strategy to monitor and protect Bhutan from China’s influence on Siliguri Corridor. China has further accelerated its manufacturing activities since the Doklam Mozard between India and China in 2017.

"This action of China is a violation of the peace agreement between Bhutan and China in 1998," former Indian Ambassador Ashok Kathy commented on it. This Agreement deals with maintaining status as far as the dispute is resolved. ""

Doklam is the area where a 73-day military kinned between India and China in 2017. India had stopped China from road construction at that time, as the region is strategically sensitive to India.

"China has tried to remove Bhutan from India by making strategic pressures in Doklam and surrounding areas," said Researcher Robert Barnet. Bhutan, which understands India’s security concerns, is now talking about taking this dispute towards a trilateral solution. ""

Examination of India-Brown Relations

The military presence of India in Bhutan is from the Indian Military Training Team (IMTRAT), 1963. But recent developments have made these relationships a new challenge. "Why Bhutan will expect India to help if India fails to remove China troops on its ground," said Defence Specialist Pravin Sahini. "He said China has captured over 800 square kilometres of Bhutan. Indian Military Training Team (IMTRAT) is responsible for protecting the regional integrity of Bhutan, but if India has failed to remove the PLA from its own land, why Bhutan will expect India to help? Bhutan will soon resolve its border dispute with China, and we will see IMTRAT come back from Bhutan. It is posted there since 1963, but now it can become history. ""

Things and Indian Responses to Border

From April 2020 between India and China, military detention is underway. Recently, on October 21, both countries agreed to the military removal from disputed areas such as Demochok and Deppong. Two days later, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met during the BRICS conference in Russia and discussed the border dispute.

हालांकि, रक्षा विशेषज्ञ ब्रह्मा चेलानी ने कहा, “24 अक्टूबर को मोदी-शी के बीच हुई बातचीत के बावजूद भारत-तिब्बत सीमा पर हालात सामान्य नहीं हैं। अभी भी 1,20,000 चीनी सैनिक लद्दाख से अरुणाचल तक तैनात हैं। इस सैन्य गतिरोध को समाप्त करने के लिए आज विशेष प्रतिनिधियों की बैठक हुई।

पूर्वी लद्दाख में भारतीय क्षेत्र पर बनाए गए बफर ज़ोन और नो-पैट्रोलिंग क्षेत्रों ने स्थिति को सामान्य करने की चुनौती को और जटिल बना दिया है। जब तक इन अस्थायी उपायों को समाप्त नहीं किया जाता और चीनी सैनिक कब्जाए गए क्षेत्रों से पीछे नहीं हटते, भारतीय सीमा बल अपने पारंपरिक गश्त क्षेत्रों में वापस नहीं जा पाएंगे।

चीन की बस्तियों का रणनीतिक मकसद

चीन की ओर से बनाई गई बस्तियां केवल स्थानीय लोगों के पुनर्वास के लिए नहीं हैं। ये बस्तियां सैन्य दृष्टि से महत्वपूर्ण हैं और चीन की “तथ्य बदलने की नीति” का हिस्सा हैं।

अशोक कंठा ने कहा, “यह वही तरीका है, जैसा चीन ने दक्षिण चीन सागर में कृत्रिम द्वीप बनाकर अपनाया था। चीन धीरे-धीरे भौगोलिक तथ्यों को बदलकर अपनी स्थिति मजबूत कर रहा है।”

भारत के लिए भविष्य की चुनौती

रिपोर्ट्स में कहा गया है कि भूटान अब चीन को थिंपू में दूतावास खोलने की अनुमति दे सकता है। यह कदम भूटान और चीन के बीच व्यापारिक संबंधों को बढ़ावा देगा।

रॉबर्ट बार्नेट ने कहा, “भविष्य में, यह देखना महत्वपूर्ण होगा कि भारत और चीन में से कौन भूटान को अधिक लाभ पहुंचाकर अपने पक्ष में कर सकता है।”

चीन का बयान

चीन के भारत में राजदूत जू फेइहोंग ने कहा, “चीन भारत के साथ मतभेदों को ईमानदारी और सद्भावना के साथ सुलझाने और द्विपक्षीय संबंधों को स्थिर और स्वस्थ दिशा में ले जाने के लिए काम करने को तैयार है।”

इन घटनाओं से यह स्पष्ट है कि चीन अपनी क्षेत्रीय शक्ति को बढ़ाने और अपने पड़ोसियों पर दबाव डालने की नीति जारी रखे हुए है। भारत के लिए यह समय है कि वह न केवल भूटान के साथ अपने संबंधों को मजबूत करे, बल्कि अपनी सीमा सुरक्षा और सामरिक योजनाओं को भी और सुदृढ़ बनाए।
