Arunachal Pradesh in the east, the Doklam Plateau in the center and Aksai Chin in the west: these three border areas between China and India, although thousands of kilometers apart, have something in common.
Perched atop the Himalayan mountains, they are difficult to access, sparsely populated, and lack very lucrative natural resources. On the other hand, these three zones are absolutely not strategic or military assets for anyone who controls them.
However, both countries really want to exercise their sovereignty over this area and make it a matter of principle, even national pride.
This video is the fifth in our “Spot” series. The goal: to shed light on the conflicts and tensions that lurk behind dotted borders on Google Maps. New episodes will be broadcast regularly on the site World as well as on our various social networks (Instagram, tick tock, snapchat).
