New York Times: Squeezed by an India-China Standoff, Bhutan Holds Its Breath

[faithfulguy]

Our borders stretched from Iran to Indonesia.

Talking like a true lover of the British empire. Year 1917 instead of 2017.

India may have opened the Pandora's Box in its region of influence with its intrusion of Donglang area in Bhutan's name. Lots of Bhutanese are pissed, and they do not have much nice thing to say about India.

Yet, many of our Indian friends are still in the mood of celebrating "exchanging sweets with Chinese", thinking India has the upper hand because Chinese has not fired the shot yet. They redefined the word "stupidity".

Pandora's box is already open in Bhutan's name, soon or later US, Russia and entire world will establish diplomatic relation with Bhutan, US and Russia are competing to influence India so they just don't want to upset India over Bhutan issue but we're not afraid of India despite they claim that they can slap sanction and boycott our product.
We shall lead the way for the entire world to free Bhutan from been enslaved by India.

As long as China keep Bhutan's issue alive over Donglan, the world will pay attention to this country that has been ignored for so long...the longer we drag this DongLan issue, the better is...of course China will backup with military in case that India make some nasty losing face move.

The Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution happened to be two of the most important reasons that China is what India can never be.

The Great Leap Forward laid the foundation for modern industries in China, and the Cultural Revolution eliminated the superstition from Chinese society.

fortunately we're not living in the cast system

Bhutan is suffocating. Hindus are keeping it confined in a dungeon of isolation. Bhutan should be a normal country and not be prevented from normalizing its relations with at least its neighbors, if not the entire world.

Bhutan is doing fine... just mind your own business!

but not China. Both US and Russia are our friends.

@Nilgiri see how much you guys have terrified your little brother.

I am sure Chinese here agree with a lot of what NYT has published in the past and present about Tibet, Dalai Lama and the tianenmen square incident...and ongoing human rights abuses by China's govt?

Or is it credible to cherry pick from same entity and pass off as absolute true story?

Like I have said, Chinese members are free to visit Bhutan and Nepal themselves and ask people firsthand. Nearly every Nepalese person you will meet knows of a friend or relative that has immigrated to India...nearly every Bhutanese similarly fundamentally understands it is India that prevents them being absorbed and culturally repressed (again quoting the same NYT you post from) like their Tibetan cousins by a vile communist-authoritarian entity. Go ask them yourselves....or take whatever spoonful you want from some media group ....while selectively ignoring the other spoonfuls they have given you in the past much more personally and intimately. Choice is yours.

that's what you claim, there is no such thing as status quo.

Bhutan wants Indians to mind their own business.
70 years of Indian smelly busybodies is too much to stomach for Bhutanese.
Indians are polluting Bhutan and that's why they reject the BBIN MVA deal.
Got IT!
Bhutan wants Indians to GET LOST!

A good neighbor & friend of Bhutan protecting it from the tyranny of mainland China! Who are the Chinese to them & what do they wasnt? Simple control of thier kingdom and their Land! nothing more... an evil and dastardly design engulfing all of Asia to their doom!
