China Has Encroached 50 – 60Km In Arunachal Pradesh – Free PDF Download

TAPIR GAO, BJP MP FROM ARUNACHAL  EAST

• “If a repeat of Doklam takes place, it will happen in
• Arunachal Pradesh,”said Tapir Gao, BJP MP from Arunachal East, while  raising the issue of Chinese encroachment into Indian territory in the Lok Sabha

POINT  MADE

• He even requested leaders of all political parties  and media to voice protests against the Chinese  move as the country has not only encroached upon  Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh but also raised objections whenever India’s President,  defence minister, home minister or Prime Minister  visited the state.

FROM 2013

• The Chinese asserted that  they had been  patrolling  near Plam Plam, situated at  a height of more than 14,000 feet, since 2001,  but  the Indian patrol countered  this claim.

WHY SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED?

• The claim made by Arunachal MP of 50-60 square  km encroachment is very alarming
• Size comparison

CHINA CLAIMS ENTIRE  ARUNACHAL  PRADESH

PROBLEMS WE FACE

• Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on  February 9(2019) claimed that foreign  investments are eluding the sensitive border state  owing to objections raised by a neighbour, a  reference to China, and urged the central  government to address the issue.

POINTS TO NOTE

• Getting funds from ADB and WB is not possible at  present due to interference from China

2009 INCIDENT

• In 2009, China protested the inclusion of a water management project in Arunachal, parts of which India’s  northern neighbour lays claim to, as part of a $2.9  billion loan that Asian Development Bank (ADB) had  promised India. The row forced ADB to introduce a disclaimer in its project documents that, while stating  that it has no position on territorial disputes, effectively  discourages applicants from pushing for assistance for  projects in disputed areas.

WHAT  WE OUGHT  TO DO

• Invite countries that have similar  concerns on China’s territorial  ambitions to invest in Arunachal  Pradesh

USA AND ARUNACHAL  PRADESH

• After US envoy to India Kenneth Juster’s visit to  the border area of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh,  Washington has said that the visit “highlights  resolute US support for Indian sovereignty and  commitment to local partnerships”.
• India needs U.S to invest in Arunachal Pradesh but  it would be challenging.
