Chinese Deployment In Tibet, Congress Slams PM Modi Over ‘Dhokalam’

The diplomatic end to the 73-day Doklam standoff between Indian and Chinese troops last year was termed as a major victory for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government. However, recent reports of an expanding military presence of China in Tibet has raised questions on the success of Doklam.

According to reports, the Air Force of China’s People’s Liberation Army has been expanding its presence in the Tibetan region, with a nearly 20 percent increase in fighter assets as compared to last year.

Intelligence reports quoted by Times Now said, “the number of fighters is between 47 and 51 in the last three weeks. This number is higher by approximately 10 aircraft in comparison to the previous year.”
Congress slammed the increase in air deployment in Tibet, terming the end of Doklam standoff as ‘Dhokalam’ since the end of the standoff has apparently not resulted in a halt to Chinese military expansion.
