evidence: India said the two sides had reached a "disengagement understanding," which led to the "expeditious disengagement of border personnel at the face-off site" in Dolam, part of Doklam region that is disputed between Bhutan and China. (See part one of this series for a primer on the political geography of the region.) MEA released a follow-up statement noting that the "border personnel of India and China at the face-off site" were withdrawing. Hua Chunying, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, confirmed in a press conference that the standoff had ended, with India withdrawing "all its border personnel and equipment that were illegally on the Chinese territory to the Indian side." Hua added that "Chinese border troops continue with their patrols in the Dong Lang area," using the Chinese name for the Doklam region. [...] While China may have conceded to a return to the status quo — an outcome rendered palatable with face-saving claims of India withdrawing first — the Doklam region won’t be off the table for future attempts at prodding India and Bhutan.
