yes & thanx for the clarification & indeed welcome to bp
so it remains a question whether china actually will turn a blind eye
to indian control of sikkim
as india has turned an increasingly blind eye to chinese control of
tibet
& if so then they might discuss swapping further concessions
& we will eventually get to know where the true tricountry points are
or will be
but this is now their 15th try after 14 exercises in futility
so who knows if they both even really want to settle much
but what do you think will happen
