Passage

The best place to begin in trying to understand the situation between India, China and Bhutan at Doklam is the overview of the terrain in question, which had never made international headlines before this summer. First of all, the area in question labelled as the Doklam plateau is a better-known piece of disputed territory between Bhutan, a tiny Himalayan kingdom of less than a million people, and china. Instead, the area is perhaps best disambiguated from the plateau by referring to it as the Doklam triboundary or Doklam triborder area (also sometimes known as the Dolam Plateau) . At the core of the dispute is the question of where the final triboundary point - the point at which India, China, and Bhutan meet - lies.

what՚s critical in this scenario is the recognition that the India-China border in this area, where Sikkim meets the Chumbi Valley, a dagger-like protrusion from southern Tibet, is settled and undisputed between the two countries. Both India and China agree that while they have disputed borders in Arunachal Pradesh and in Kashmir, the Sikkim sector border has long been a settled matter. Thus, this standoff is not and never was about a disputed border between India and China. This, in the Chinese view makes it different from recent high-profile border incidents between the two countries in 2013 at Depsang and in 2014 at Chumar, both sites near their mutually recognized line of Actual Control. This also helps explain why the Chinese reaction to this incident has been so exceptionally negative when china defeated India in a major war at their Himalayan border. Despite the tense situation between India and China, the border dispute in question that complicates the triboundary question is between Bhutan and China. The two countries, who do not have official diplomatic ties, have held 24 rounds of diplomatic talks over their various border disputes. (Bhutan has the distinction of being the sole country to neighbour China that doesn՚t have normal diplomatic ties.)

Despite these long-running talks, the Doklam triboundary area dispute had been one of lower-profile boundary disputes between Thimphu and Beijing. Both countries have given relative priority to other disputed sectors in their talks, including the Doklam Plateau, which sits farther north, sandwiched between the Chumbi Valley and the rest of Bhutan.

The Bhutan-China border, once settled in this sector, would meet the Indian border at a perpendicular angle, east-to-west , and finalize the triboundary point between the three countries, Bhutan claims that the triboundary point lies at a location known as Batang-la, some four kilometers north of the Doka La pass where the standoff between Indian and Chinese troops is ongoing. China, meanwhile, claims the triboundary point at Mount Gipmochi or Gyemochen, a point some two-and-a-half kilometers south of the Doka La pass. Mount Gipmochi marks the terminus at the Indian border of what New Delhi regards as a strategic redline: the Jampheri ridge, which marks start of the descent into the foothills of southwestern Bhutan that then lead into the strategically vital Siliguri Corridor.
