Daily Current Affairs Article 23th January 2021: China said its construction of a village across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh was “beyond reproach” because it had “never recognised” Arunachal.
The village was built between November 2019 and November 2020 and located a couple of kilometres across the LAC, beyond what India sees as the border separating Arunachal Pradesh and Tibet, on the banks of the Tsari Chu river in Upper Subansiri district in Arunachal.

The site of the village is close to where China had attacked an Assam Rifles post in 1959, in what is known as the Longju incident. It is at least 2 km south of the McMahon Line, which China doesn’t recognise. After the 1962 war, India stopped patrolling the area.
Another village built last year, called Pangda, was built 2-3 km inside what Bhutan sees as its territory, in another disputed area.
