Part 7/11:
China’s efforts in Arunachal Pradesh extend beyond diplomatic posturing. The construction of 90 villages along the border, some with dual-use facilities supporting military logistics, underscores the increasing militarization of the region. Upgrades to nearby airbases and infrastructure projects further consolidate Chinese presence and enhance strategic capacity.
At the same time, China renegotiates its claim by renaming locations within Arunachal Pradesh and issuing a flurry of official documents asserting sovereignty. These actions are part of a larger pattern aimed at consolidating territorial control through symbolic gestures and infrastructure development, despite international criticism and regional pushback.
