The borders depicted in a map released by China to buttress its allegation that Indian troops “trespassed” into its territory in Sikkim sector are in dispute with India and Bhutan’s perception of the frontiers in the region. China and Bhutan have a territorial dispute over the location – Donglang or Doklam – where the current standoff began on June 16. India and Bhutan have asked China to maintain status quo, with New Delhi saying the construction activity has “serious security implications”. The foreign ministry has repeatedly said the spot where Indian border troops “trespassed” is Chinese territory. The state media also reported that China and successive Indian governments had recognised that the Sikkim section of the boundary “has been delimited”.
