India's government plans to open the Doklam area for tourism! Sikkim plans to open the Doklam area and the Jangtse La pass to tourists in September, even creating battlefield tourism sites. Visit the Indian side of the tri-junction area of China, Bhutan, and India in the Doklam region. The relevant plan has been discussed with Bhutan. India is preparing to build tourism infrastructure around the Jangtse La pass and the Doklam area, including roads, parking lots, and sanitation facilities.
Initially, only 30 vehicles per day will be allowed to visit the site, and this number may increase to 50 vehicles per day in the future, depending on road conditions and military approval.
It must be said that in order to raise funds, the Indian government is really quite determined. The old site of the Galwan Valley battle on June 15, 2020, has also been developed into a tourist attraction by the Indian government. Now, the Doklam area, where the Sino-Indian standoff occurred in July 2017, has also been developed into a tourist spot. For tourism, India is indeed very determined.
Once there are tourists, it can fix the control of this land within its own territory. India's approach is correct, but for us, it is a crisis. We should also find ways to open up the tourism in the Galwan Valley and the Doklam area, allowing domestic tourists to visit, so as to continue to mark our territorial boundaries. Just like the self-driving tour of Pangong Lake we have held, and the future cycling race of Pangong Lake, all aim to achieve actual occupation of the territory.
The areas of Galwan Valley and Doklam should also be opened up now. Since India has already opened them, what are we afraid of? It's all about tourism and popularity; the more people go, the more it shows that this land belongs to us, China. Sometimes, we must learn from India's practical thinking. In fact, the Indian government is not slower than ours in terms of brainpower.
No matter what, I hope that more tourism will be opened up, allowing more self-driving tourists to travel to the front-line areas of Tibet, carry out national defense education, of course, only for domestic tourists, foreign tourists cannot go, as there might be military secrets, and it cannot be generalized.
But no matter what, India's operational methods are worth praising. To occupy land, India has truly gone to any lengths. Tourism has come into play, bringing Indian tourists over for decades, and the land will naturally become India's. Therefore, opening up domestic tourism is imperative.
