A Goggle Earth user from Germany has found a strange military establishment in the region of China’s Northern Plains. This model was made as a large military complex in China’s Huangyangtan province. It is an accurate model of the disputed Sino-Indian border, Aksai-Chin.
Shiv Aroor writes in the Indian Express as
A careful study of the model likely used for training and familiarisation of troops, helicopters and infantry vehicles, shows that it is built to scale based on a stretch 2,400 km away along the Aksai Chin area bordering Ladakh, part of the stretch through which invading Chinese forces entered in the 1962 war.
The model has shown man-made snow peaks, glacial lakes and snow rifts. This is built in the middle of bone-dry plain is bordered by a military depot, buildings and hundreds of military trucks.
The Indian army officers say that this is normal practice. There is no point of confliction is existing between India and China. The establishments of the Aksai-Chin model in a plain region and military movement there is normal training methodologies only.
But the important thing is that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has always an eye on potential conflict zones such as Aksai Chin. The establishment and the military movement over there sounds alarming from the Indian point of view.
