China has many disputes at their Western borders also. <br />- China, Nepal and India are disputing Aksai Chin (part of Jammu and Kashmir)<br />- China and Bhutan are disputing areas in Tibet which had been Bhutanese enclaves for decades if not longer. Also Bhutan's highest mountain, Kula Kangri, is also claimed by China.<br />And these are just the ones I know of!<br />I am glad that you agree with me on the fact Singapore has no dog in this fight. On that, we are in full agreement.Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160118520611754510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297647034431552481.post-90216442668541691412011-12-23T18:21:06.431+08:002011-12-23T18:21:06.431+08:00*China's sudden movement is not something that...*China's sudden movement is not something that us just told in the <br />Straits Times & CNN.
