Nope.Indian Govt discourages or even outright stops us by citing the issue of stapled visas.

You will feel right at home once you come to the other side of LOC. How you guys identify yourself, Indian? North easterner? Oriental Indian?

Mostly on the basis of our ancestry and heritage.The closer to macmohan line the closer the people feel to the other side of LAC.

Is there cross line people flow? I don't remember if I read from somewhere or my friend in Medog told me local people can visit cross loc relatives. Sorry for some sensitive questions.

Not legally.Some do cross it when the Indian troops leave due to harsh monsoon rains.Mostly to visit relatives but even then the duration is short as it can be troublesome if they get caught.Some cross over from the other side as well to visit and bring in supplies not found here in the hill areas of remote upper regions.
The increasing Indian infrastructure build up may put an end to that short time as well.

I know your region is closed to outsiders. One Chinese traveler somehow made there a few years ago, and he publish his journal on line, and caused quite a stir in online community. People really want to know what is going on there. By the way, what is the percentage people who are online?

It's quite hard to say on the percentage of people online.The generation below 30 is almost wholly offline apart from few exceptions.Even that is mostly for official government work.While the generation below that uses the internet or rather want to but can't use it optimally due to lack of availability outside of few urban centres in the lower regions.We are talking about maybe a few clusters of a dozen or so towns in an area of 80000+ km2 where internet is readily available at required speeds constantly.Apart from Tawang township.Almost all upper regions are offline for all purposes.

We are talking of a region where there are no networks for voice calls in upper regions apart from spotty Indian Public sector companies which are't really known for reliability.

So in a way, it is pretty isolated from outside world. It is purely infrastructure issue or something else? Hope things will become better in the near future. My friend in Medog has 4g signal, like 50mbps. India administration should improve infrastructure there.

Well,sure the Indian Gov. most likely manipulates things on the online front behind the scenes but it is hard to say that without damning facts on hand.
They do keep the region backward so that PRC has a hard time capturing it if they want.Also keeping the local populace in backward conditions suits their agenda of keeping us subservient so that a few doles now and then keeps us from outright support of PRC.
