During the recent standoff in the Doklam region between China and India, India has claimed that the region in Yadong county, China's Tibet Autonomous Region, belongs to Bhutan and that China is trying to grab it.
This claim, however, doesn't hold up to historical scrutiny. The Convention Between Great Britain and China Relating to Sikkim and Tibet, which was formally signed between the then Qing government of China and the UK in 1890, explicitly stipulated the boundary between China's Tibet and British-controlled Sikkim, with Doklam falling on China's side. In 1975, after Sikkim was annexed by India, that border became the boundary between China and India.
India, however, claims that the region belongs to Bhutan, and is using Bhutan as an excuse for its current standoff with China.
Zhang Yongpan, a researcher with the Research Center for Chinese Borderland History and Geography at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times that the "treaty was legally binding, and whether from historical documents or from reality, there is no argument that Doklam belongs to China."
"India is trying to push Bhutan to the front. But actually, China and Bhutan have been on good terms," he said.
China and Bhutan have held border talks since 1984. Last August, the border talks entered their 24th round. Liu Zhenmin, China's vice foreign minister, said that the talks have made important progress over the recent years.
Sun Hongnian, another researcher with the Research Center of China's Borderland History and Geography under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said there have been no territorial disputes in recent history over Doklam, and India is intentionally trying to create one.
Zhang said that though China's infrastructure construction in Doklam has been slow, with the completion of the Lhasa-Shigatse Railway, roads in Yadong county and pathways in Nathula, India is worried that China might gain a strategic edge in the region.
India is also worried that as China boosts Doklam's infrastructure, it will be able to threaten India's Siliguri Corridor in the case of a major conflict. Often nicknamed the "chicken's neck" by the Indian media, the corridor is a narrow stretch of land - at one point only 27 kilometers wide - that connects India's northeastern states to the rest of the country.
