evidence: Since 2014, satellite images from Maxar Technologies reveal that China has been steadily reinforcing its infrastructure along the TAR’s border with Bhutan, constructing 600 new villages within Tibet as well as highways and railway lines. Barnett’s investigation has also shown the existence of a large Chinese village, Gyalaphug, similar to Pangda near Doklam constructed five years earlier and located within the contested Pasamlung valley. Known to the Bhutanese as Beyul Khenpajong, the area is of enormous cultural and religious significance to both Bhutanese and Tibetan Buddhists. The investigation by Foreign Policy further reveals Gyalaphug is not simply an isolated village; rather it sits alongside a small hydropower station, two Chinese Communist Party (CCP) administrative centres, a communications facility, a large warehouse, and possibly five military outposts. This, along with a similar enclave under construction in the Menchuma Valley nearby, represents a low-level land grab by China in territory internationally recognised as belonging to Bhutan. Beijing, however, contends that Gyalaphug is in the TAR as per comments by Wu Yingjie, the CCP Party Secretary of Tibet.
