Bhutan issues demarche to China over its bid to create border trouble
As China is now fixing its eyes on Bhutan by declaring a Bhutanese wildlife sanctuary along their border as a disputed territory, Bhutan swiftly jumped to its feet and issued a demarche to China.The demarche was a follow-up to protests earlier against Beijing’s attempt to make a non-dispute into a quarrel.At the 58th Global Environment Facility Council held in June, the Chinese raised objections to the Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary project and argued that it was in a disputed area between China and Bhutan. Sakteng lies in a zone of Bhutan that borders Arunachal Pradesh and China. At the meeting, Bhutan strongly objected to the references made by China against its sovereignty.The Chinese claim coincided with the People’s Liberation Army’s belligerence along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh
