China feels the burn, chooses to get uppity and aggressive against India:

   Satellite Images Confirm Rapid Chinese Military Expansion On Disputed Indian Border
   https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/satellite-images-confirm-rapid-chinese-military-expansion-along-disputed-indian-border

      A new report in the Asia-based online tech journal Insider Paper cites open source satellite images to confirm the latest widespread reporting on the major Chinese PLA troop build-up underway along disputed Sino-Indian border regions.

      https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/indian-media-reports-10000-chinese-soldiers-have-invaded-disputed-border-territory

      The report cites the following via a reputable open-source satellite imagery analyst:

          According to a few satellite images published by a local Indian news publication, the Chinese troops have commenced the expansion of its airbase, 200 km from Pangong Lake, in Ladakh. The images, also showing Ngari Gunsa airport in Tibet, originated from open-source intelligence expert @detresfa_, an analyst with ShadowBreak Intl.

      "The first image shows how the territory originally looked. However, the second image clearly shows massive construction activity going on in the territory."

      According to the report, this suggests a significant and rapid Chinese military build-up in the past months along the contested border region amid what Indian media has widely reported since this weekend to be PLA forces digging into fortified positions.  
      https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/indian-media-reports-10000-chinese-soldiers-have-invaded-disputed-border-territory

      Importantly, the strategic base is a mere 200km away from Pangong lake, where recent skirmishes between Chinese and Indian border patrols took place on May 5th-6th.
      https://time.com/5843279/india-china-border/

      The Insider Paper report continues, based on satellite analysis: "The expansion has included something that looks more like a secondary tarmac to combat aircraft or taxi-track. Also, the third image shows a line-up of four fighter jets. They are either J-11 or J-16 fighters of the Chinese PLA Air Force."
      https://insiderpaper.com/satellite-images-show-china-airbase-and-jets-near-ladakh-india/

      .. Sporadic but fierce clashes have occurred going back to the 1960's along the shared but pretty much completely unmarked 2,100 mile border, which often involves literal fist-fights among opposing troops and border patrol guards.

      .. And The Guardian also said on Wednesday: "Thousands of Chinese People's Liberation (PLA) troops are reported to have moved into sensitive areas along the eastern Ladokh border, setting up tents and stationing vehicles and heavy machinery in what India considers to be its territory."

      .. It's a fast escalating situation that FP recently noted could explode into major conflict between two nuclear armed powers.

The more China shows its ugly side today, the more the settlement will be against its interests.

Tibet ought by rights be returned to the Tibetans under the authority of the Dalai Llama.
