In a recent interview to the Belgian newspaper La Libre, Tshering said, ‘It is not in the hands of Bhutan alone to solve the problem. We are three countries. No country is big or small, all three are equal, each counts as one third.’ China has built villages and roads in Bhutan’s territory near Doklam which are the biggest challenge for India in the region. India opposes China’s expansion in Doklam and considers it the biggest threat to its strategic Siliguri Corridor.
China wants to shift the tri-junction
Tshering’s statement shows that Bhutan is willing to negotiate with India and China on the Doklam situation and resolve the dispute. China aims to shift the tri-junction to the south, which will make the entire Doklam legally a part of China. India opposes this move. On one hand, Bhutanese PM is claiming that China has not entered their territory, while on the other hand, satellite photos show that China has established 10 villages in Bhutan’s territory.

China wants to reach ‘Siliguri Corridor’
In 2017, there was a tense standoff between Indian and Chinese troops for more than two months. Indian troops had entered the Doklam Plateau to prevent China from expanding an illegally constructed road towards Mount Jipmochi and the adjacent Zampheri Ridge. The Indian Army claims that if the Chinese Army is allowed to reach Jhampheri, they will get a ‘clear way’ to the Siliguri Corridor.
