Will China claim the moon when it lands there?
Yes. They play Go while others play chess. Occupying territory confers power. This is what they do.

Well china actually claimed
yes
That i'm not sure, but the westerners landed in the Americas hundreds years ago, and claimed the indian's lands theirs. That's a fact!
when the neighbouring country randomly starts building villages on your land.......
The reason why China can claim it is because no one lives on that part of the mountain
Except China claim those land too.
It should be noted that this ridiculous boundary, which is incomprehensible, was left by the British in order to use regional disputes to achieve their continental balance-of-power strategy in relation to British geopolitical tactics.
@@gingerbread_GB They don't own it though. They claim it but it's under the jurisdiction of the Bhutanese government. So yes what the OP said is correct because it is legally Bhutanese land.
@@gingerbread_GBDoean't matter. It is internationally recognized as Bhutan's land.

Nah! Cure your ignorance and do a little research.

It's interesting to see a British expert explain the land disputes around Asia. They have some great insights, considering the British were the ones who drew up these borders on a whim 150 years ago.
It is impressive the number of places around the world that are in conflict now with borders that England created.
@@TDurden527 not as impressive as how many commie apologists blame the U.S. for what the British created conditions for.
Exhausting.
Who cares? Im not British but do we always want to be stuck in the past? What does it matter what happend back then? Why don't we go back a couple of hundred years more when china invaded the place? Is that how we resolve the conflicts of today by going back further and further and saying "i can't belive this country would do what basically every other country did throughout history"?
@@TDurden527 It’s as if any of these conflicts didn’t exist in the prior borders before the British. The conflicts are made much more prominent because of technological and societal advancement and have nothing to do with any borders the British drew. This issue would likely exist regardless and it’s due to an imbalance of power and ideology between an incumbent power and its growing rival neighbour.
I thought the Bhutan government stated that China has not taken their territory and it was India who raised the question.
Yup. & India didn't even raise any question. The vid clearly said towards the end that India didn't want to comment on foreign affairs between Bhutan and China.
India didn't even comment on that, it was some youtuber news channels(10k-20k subscriber), who made report on that
and WSJ post this video that Indian media is posting about that, it means Indian gov have problem
In 1975, Sikkim was annexed by India. Bhutan, as a neighboring country, is not stupid. The Bhutan are a country established by Tibetans after migration. Bhutan and Tibet have the same culture and ethnicity. Bhutan is very different from India, both in culture and ethnicity. Bhutan's diplomacy and military are controlled by India. The British Empire left Bhutan, but Bhutan have to meet the Indians who have no bottom line. The key is that the per capita GDP of Tibet is five more times that of India. As a result, Indians covet the land of Tibet every day and say that they want to liberate Tibet. In the eyes of other countries, it is similar to North Korea saying that it wants to rescue Americans out of poverty.
@@snowlee-ml7rr Sikkim monarch rebels voted to join India. The fact that you post such blatant misinformation shows that you have an agenda. China annexed Tibet by invading it and the Dalai Lama became a refugee in India. Now China is building villages in Bhutan, spraying water cannons at the Phillipines and always threatening to attack Taiwan. Everyone knows who the bully is. Go check Wikipedia and all these facts online for verification. India has received Tibetans with open arms because Tibetans have fled excess authoritarianism and cultural attacks by the communist Chinese governement. And also, Bhutan does not have an active military.
@@snowlee-ml7rr lol the Sikkim parliament himself sign on the proposal of annexation with India.
What about China’s new base in Sihanoukville, a port city in Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand? China is everywhere.
China? last time I check it was another country that have military bases around the world
Hun Sen (Cambodia's dictator/leader), is former Khmer Rouge... which was backed by China. He relies on China's backing. Cambodia is basically a vassal state of China at this point. CCP can get what it wants from Hun Sen.
Us military base is everywhere
Global trading superpowers build navy bases to protect sea lanes. See Portuguese, Dutch, British and American history.
It may be a few decades before China can match the US

China claims it owns those areas in ancient times.
We cannot talk about Bhutan without talking about Sikkim. Like Bhutan, Sikkim was an independent Himalayan Buddhist kingdom many hundreds of years old and a neighbor of China. Sikkim was briefly overrun by the Nepalese Gorkhas during the 18th century. The Sikkim king fled to China and asked for help. The then Qianlong emperor dispatched an expedition force to Sikkim and expelled the Gorkhas and restored Sikkim's sovereignty and independence. Sikkim was left unmolested for the rest of its history until it was gobbled up by the artificial country India in 1975. Chinese of older generations were taught that Sikkim was one of China's neighbors. Even student in Taiwan (Republic of China) were taught Sikkim was one of China's neighbors until a couple of decades ago. Bhutan is very similar to Sikkim in terms of ethnicity, language, religion and culture and history, only that it is bigger. Bhutan is in a precarious situation right now because it is the next low hanging fruit in India's expansionism and is currently militarily occupied by India. The reason I wrote this here is to educate the people in the world what is going on in that part of the world and stop indulging India, a country that is up to no good.
India is useful to the west so the media doesn't talk about India's expansionism AT ALL.
Why do you think Bhutan is occupied by Indian military.
Bhutan doesn't have its military infrastructure India helps Bhutan to provide safety . India also include more than billion dollars aid from its budget to Bhutan it is highest among all the neighbours
@@TAUNDER. Provide safety for what? Bhutan is a neighbor of China for many hundreds of years before the artificial country India even existed. Who was providing safety for Bhutan then? I am not going to mince words. The reason Bhutan is occupied by India militarily is because India has territorial design on Bhutan and the first step to gobble up Bhutan is to totally control it. This is the reason India is so allergic for Bhutan having diplomatic countries with most countries. Please do not lie. India is not providing billions of dollars aid to Bhutan. India debt trapped Bhutan for its infrastructure projects. I read from a Bhutanese India's interest rate to Bhutan is 10%, two and a half times the rate of international norm.

It seems to be a trend of China's massive militarisation. Almost every border of neighbours, even on the sea, Chinese military is rapidly militarising. The only neighbour it doesn't militarise... is Russia, but that wasn't a surprise given Russia's status as China's minor partner.
China is now making claims even on Russian territory. China is not a peaceful neighbor.
but even China and Russia have some territorial disputes. I have no idea why China would want to make all their neighbors, enemies for no apparent reason for some little land.
@@mohakjain5802 Russia is too weak to do anything now, and even if Russia managed to somehow subjugate Ukraine into its realm, it could not stand against China's demands since Chinese troops are far more modern, more capable and more advanced than Russian army. Pakistan is China's long time ally, so no reason to militarise.
The rest? Their territories were parts of the Chinese Empire at some point under various dynasties, such as the Han, Tang, Yuan and Qing. That's why China want them back.

Just because they illegally wanted to be their own country, doesnt mean they can. Its equivalent of Texas and some southern states wanting to be their own country without the approval of USA. What do you think will happen?
@@yerri5567first of all ‘China’ didn’t exist when Tibet was under dynastic control, and the control was never continuous but on and off, and never imposing but equal..,
@@NarasimhaDiyasena First of all, "China" is what the West calls the Middle Kingdom. Its always existed since time immemorial. Secondly, we are talking about "sovereignty" here, not "control". China had sovereignty over Tibet for longer than USA has been a country, its set in stone, in black and white. There a legal documents to prove it. They allowed Tibet the authority to govern themselves, but make no mistake, sovereignty was still Chinas. Thats the difference between sovereignty and "control".
And once the last Chinese Dynasty came to an end, there was an imperial edict (what we call treaty nowadays) that stated that sovereignty over Tibet was to be handed over to the next "China". Ie it was continuous. Everything was enshrined in law. That is why Tibet wanting to be their own little country was illegal. China rightfully took back control when they violated the law first.
I love WSJ, my favorite TH-cam channel ❤
It's really not a funny mistake that China is taking what belongs to your country (Bhutan/India/Japan/Vietnam/South China Sea = East Asia Sea). Claiming Tibetan region, which was forcefully annexed by them. So no Claims has any basic requirement to fill the whole China is digging for the coffins of the future conflicts. India will stand with Bhutan and Bhutanese people will get the best version of Chinese love game no where before the disintegration of the Red colour (product).
Two out of the best 3 space agencies of the World (Russia/USA/China) said India did not land on Moon's South Pole.
1) NASA specifically said "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 kilometers from the Moon’s South Pole.". This is just another diplomatic way of saying India did not land on Moon's South Pole. If India had landed on on Moon's South Pole, NASA would have simply said that "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located at the Moon’s South Pole" instead of "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 KILOMETERS FROM the Moon’s South Pole.
2) Dr Ouyang Ziyuan, lauded as the father of China’s lunar exploration programme, told the Chinese-language Science Times newspaper that the Chandrayaan-3 landing site, at 69 degrees south latitude, was nowhere close to the pole, defined as between 88.5 and 90 degrees.

I really do not see any issues with these settlements. As far as India supporting the Russian land grab in Ukraine, and rejecting the land in punjab for sheiks , I would not have any issue with this minor village in this small corner of the world. It’s really not a big deal. India is complaining for no reason. This has no impact on the India people . The Indian should worry more about protecting women and not parading naked teens on the streets. They should also take back their people who have immigrated out, and give them the punjab if this little corner of a tiny country matters.

因为印度不允许不丹和五常建交 不丹可怜啊！
Bhutan is constantly under threat from India's colonial control.
notorious LAND-GRABBER anywhere in the world. SHAMELESS
How is China allowed to build on other countries???
Ask a thief.. they will also lie about it 😅
Why don't talk about India who has control airspace and land and Manny more from Nepal can you talk or show the world Nepali board and airspace??
Dude are you from nepal
WSJ should report some real news
such as the genocide happened in Gaza r8 now
Top 3 most greedy nation on earth.
1. China
2. Russia
3. North Korea
Very True.
Bhutan needs to merge themeselves with INDIA, thats the last chance
"that look like military installations" . . .
civillian-military fusion is part of china's gameplan. Its the same way they sell weapons to Russia.
What’s so surprising??
Nothing New all in the Public domain already. Bhutan King was in New Delhi a few months ago regarding this after visiting Beijing. WSJ come on don't lag 6month behind.
I am not surprised by this. Unfortunately 😑
Why doesn't India sign a mutual defense pact with Bhutan? Or an agreement to build a base in Bhutan?
Good-old British professor just can’t get over with the mess their empire left over everywhere.
This comment would be appropriate if it was about the China-Hong Kong conflict, since Hong Kong was a British colony, but Bhutan has never been colonized by the UK (nor by any other western nation for that matter) so it doesn't really apply here.
Why would you drag UK everywhere, it's not their fault.
China just don't agree any borders they have issues with every neighbour India, bhutan,Nepal, Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Russia,
@@Xob_Driesestig Guess who drew the border for northeastern India?
Classic Indian, that after 70 years of independence still blames the British for Indias problems, hates the Tag Mahal because it was built by the Mughals 😅😅

Same tactic China is using on South China Sea. I remembered a TV Series I watch when I was a kid where the lead character asked the Mongolian Khan, "Of all the expansion you are doing, how much land do you need to bury your corpse?" After 5000 years of history, China still has not learnt all. Look at the Roman, how great was it to have one man ruled all?
I don`t think it`s only just a political/strategic move on China`s part. There also has to be some kind of financial benefit to China, whether it`s natural resources exploitation or some other financial boon.China is always looking to expand whatever increases their bottom line.The Chinese are pretty aggressive capitalists if you didn`t know already.
That is their style.
It seems that |ndia/|ndians have clearly forgotten that |ndia was the one who |nvaded Sikkim on year 1973 before annexing Sikkim to become one of |ndian states on year 1975. The last Chogyal king of Sikkim, Palden Thongdu Namygal, was placed under house arrest and was tortured by |ndia till he died in 1975. Miraculously, after making an example out of the Sikkim King, Sikkim became part of |ndia on year 1975 but not on 1973 when |ndia |nvaded Sikkim. If the sovereign country of Sikkim is willing to become one with |ndia, is an invasion necessary? Is a house arrest and the killing of the King of Sikkim necessary?
Majority of sikkimese population is in Army, they don't even like Chinese, now cope 4 foot rice farmer.
@@darkodonnie2729 says the 2.5 foot cur rimun cher. World Population Review says: Average height of Indian men (age 19) = 166.5 and the Average height of Chinese men (age 19) =175.66. 🤭
@@darkodonnie2729 Indians are defeated by the Chinese in the 1962 war. It was the most humiliating defeat in history if you were to examine all the facts that were involved in the war. This is the ultimate proof that war tactics/strategy/determination/will power/bravery triumphs over superior weapons/technology/cowardice.
1) The Chinese were having the "great Chinese famine" from 1658 to 1962. China was too weak to defend itself.
2) India had Israeli and American support in the form of supplies/weaponry. Research on "Israel aid to India in the 1962 war" and "America's aid to India in the 1962 war" and "JFK’s Forgotten Crisis".
3) The Sino-Soviet split from 1960 - 1962. China had nothing. No weapons, guns, artillery supplies from either Western and Soviet and no food (serious famine).
4) Despite all these advantages, India lost.
5) There are no excuses for such a humiliating defeat. That is why India is so desperate to have the "Henderson Brooks and Neville Maxwell report of the 1962 war" concealed forever and also to hide which country is the true aggressor of the war. When it was leaked into the internet momentarily in 2014, India demanded the report to be purged permanently from the internet citing "national security"....just like BBC's documentary on the 2002 Gujarat Massacre and Modi's involvement.

China claimed that they won in the 1962 war and provided
1) Video proof for example, "The crushing moment: China India 1962 war - Part 1" and "The crushing moment: China India 1962 war - Part 2"
2) Territory Trophy Aksai Chin 1962
3) Indian prisoners of war captured
India claimed that they won in the 1967 "war", a 3-day battle from 11/09/1967 to 14/09/1967 (Nathu La), and provided
1) No video proof
2) No territorial victory
3) No Chinese prisoners of war captured.
😁😆😅🤣😂All historians said that the 1967 "war" was not a war but only a "skirmish". ➡How the U.S. viewed the 1967 Sikkim skirmishes between India and China (Brookings)🔚 🤭😅😂Noticed that they had use "skirmish" rather than "war".
@@darkodonnie2729 Why do all military rankings rank China above India? 🤣🤭😂1962? Wait, didn't the Indians claimed that they had won in the 1967 "war"? The score should be even like China: 1 and India:1 on paper? Oh wait again, all historians said there is no war between China and India in 1967 but only a small 3 day skirmish from 11/09/1967 to 14/09/1967 😅🤣😂Read article "How the U.S. viewed the 1967 Sikkim skirmishes between India and China (Brookings)". I guess that is the reason why China > India. 🤭😂
Bhutan is an independent country, free to cooperate with whom it wishes. India has no right to interfere.
Bhutan is controlled by India.
We pay for their fuel, energy, food, internet, so will f**king interfare.
Chinese are the who is interfering.
Chinese are the who is interfering.
India and Bhutan are allies.
It should be noted that this ridiculous boundary, which is incomprehensible, was left by the British in order to use regional disputes to achieve their continental balance-of-power strategy in relation to British geopolitical tactics.
When China does it it's called land grab. When Israel does it it's called land expropriation. Regarding accusations of land grab against Israel as "antisemitic" is not hypocritical AT ALL!
Oh yes, china is israel 2.0 with gaslighting characteristics
There are 22 Arab nations, and only one tiny Israel. And that land also belongs to Israel. In fact, Ancient Israel is very much bigger than now.
@@thinkie12but the thing is that the people living in Israel now are not decendants of the ancient Israelis they are just white Europeans.
If an Indian couple migrated to Europe, and then, they give birth to children. Then, they decided to go back to India. So, when they go back to India, had they become European or are they still Indians.
@@thinkie12 Your example doesn't represent the reality and has nothing to do with the current state of Israel. A representative example is this: Can an Iranian decide to go to India and occupy some piece of land because it used to be a part of Persian Empire? and the answer is no. India belongs to Indians. The Iranian can apply as an immigrant to go and live in his/her supposedly ancestoral land in India but if the application is successful, he/she will be a citizen of Indian. India won't be turned into Persia unless it's occupied by a large number of Iranians through the use of force and genocide! Just because your ancestors used to live somewhere centuries ago (or worse, because your "God" told you so) some foreign land won't belong to you.

WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON INDIAN OCCUPATION & CONSTRUCTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE ON DHARCHULA & KALAPANI AREA
china has inter continental ballistic missiles = made from paper - untraceable and a rocket program of - sending missiles from TIBET TO ANY CAPITOL IN THE WORLD ! = just saying what i learnt 15 years ago !
Bhutan govt has said no Chinese villages in their territory. Don't take my words, just google, PM Tshering denies Chinese villages built in Bhutan.
Seems that Bhutan is not fully sovereign to make its own decisions. Why not a news story on a UN member nation not having full autonomy in foreign relations?
It is hoped that Bhutan can gain independent sovereignty, especially diplomatic sovereignty. Avoid becoming the second Sikkim.
India is controlling its foreign policy by threatening otherwise India will occupie Bhutan just like sikkim neighbour country of Bhutan.
