Checked out Doklam on Google Maps yesty - what a god-forsaken spot.
Interesting reading about the relative strengths of the two countries' forces.
I'd always thought the Chinese would smash India as in `62.
But it seems India has a more capable Air-Force and Navy - and their navy would be a factor apparently - blockade to apply pressure some think.
But ultimately, China has more buckets of sunshine.
And they're mates with Pakistan.
Let's hope it doesn't escalate beyond shrieking at each other through the media...
