The Bhutanese PM's China comment over the Doklam dispute has raised concerns in India. Six years after Indian and Chinese soldiers clashed in Doklam, the Bhutanese PM has said that Beijing has an 'equal say in finding a resolution to the dispute.' The statement marks a significant shift in Bhutan's stand amid an ongoing dispute. Remember, India believes the high-altitude plateau has been illegally occupied by China. Interestingly, the declaration by Tshering comes a few months after Bhutanese and Chinese officials met in Kunming, China, to discuss a 'three-step roadmap' to settle border disputes. The statement has triggered a fear of Bhutan ceding its land near strategic tri-junction point to China. Watch this video, which explains it all.
