China has built an entire township close to the Line of Actual Control with India with dual use infrastructure, i.e. facilities that can be used for civilian as well as military purpose.

New Delhi: In what should ring alarm bells in India’s power circles, Times Now has accessed an exclusive video that shows a formidable Chinese build-up along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh’s West Siang district. The video has been shot by the Indian intelligence agencies and shows developments that should serve as a reality check for the Narendra Modi government at the Centre.

The video has helped India’s intelligence agencies recce the massive Chinese military build-up along the LAC. The area is located just around 15 kilometres from India’s last motorable town in the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh.

Beijing has built an entire township there with dual use infrastructure, i.e. facilities that can be used for civilian as well as military purpose.

Among the infrastructure that China has constructed include an aerodrome or a small airfield, electricity and mobile communication towers, bridges and roads etc.

The remote township is located just five kilometres from the LAC, while the dual purpose airstrip has been built 10 kilometres from the temporary line that separates Indian and Chinese territories.

All this build-up is just the latest example of how China is breathing down India’s neck and doing all it can to dominate over India.

Other examples include China’s bid to build USD 1.1 billion Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka; its move to finance a container shipping facility in Chittagong, Bangladesh; construct the USD 46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir; and sign a multi-billion-dollar strategic port deal with Myanmar.
