A stunned India, already reeling under a crippling domestic political crisis, has groped for an effective response to China’s land-grab – the largest and most strategic real estate China has seized since it began pursuing a more muscular policy toward its neighbors. Whether China intends to stay put by building permanent structures for its troops on the plateau’s icy heights, or plans to withdraw after having extracted humiliating military concessions from India, remains an open – and in some ways a moot – question.
因国内政治危机焦头烂额的印度大吃一惊，匆忙寻求积极响应中国的领土掠夺——这是中国开始对邻国采取更强硬政策以来最大、最具战略性的不动产掠夺。中国将继续侵占，建设雪线高原的永久军营，还是准备在获得印度羞辱性的军事妥协后撤离仍不明朗，而且从某种程度上说，这个问题并没有什么意义。
