Just confirming, with regard to the territory of Bhutan, the Xiayadong outline is as per China's claim? DTM (talk) 05:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Obviously. Such are the hidden meanings of China's trade deals. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:33, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
The "lack of knowledge" criticism that Frank Gardner levels at the Survey of India definitely applies here. The British administerd the Chumbi Valley for 3 years following the Younghusband Expedition. Nothing stopped the Survey of India from surveying it and defining its borders. But Frank Gardner himself has nary a word to say about it.
As far as I know the border shown in US maps never appeared in any Survey of India map. J. Claude White described the border quite precisely. But the Survey of India couldn't be bothered. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:23, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
