, I see repeated reverts. Can you please discuss the issues so that we can come to agreement? At this stage, I foresee a full protection happening. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:13, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * , on this issue, please read and follow WP:NEWSORG. There are hundreds of opinion columns written on the subject of this standoff. What is special about this one? Why is it in the criticism section anyway? The WP:BURDEN is always on the editor who wants to add a certain content. Your edit summary is completely inappropriate. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:52, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I had read WP:NEWSORG a long time ago and SCMP is a reliable source without a doubt, it was cited and quoted, why can't it be added to the article. Besides, what is special about other quotations you listed?--No1lovesu (talk) 18:22, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I only listed one (Raghavan). You listed Maxwell. Both of them are established authorities on the 1962 war and India-China conflicts in general.
 * SCMP is a newspaper, which is only reliable for news. You need to read WP:NEWSORG again. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:57, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Requested move 14 August 2017

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Per later developments, there has been escalation in other areas of the border as well. Possibly there is a better title than the current one available, but a clear candidate has not emerged in the discussion. No such user (talk) 07:30, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

2017 China–India border standoff → 2017 Doklam standoff – More accurate and precise. India doesn't even recognize the disputed territory as theirs and recognizes it as Bhutan's. I know that the soldiers involved in this standoff are Indians and Chinese but to avoid confusion rename this article as 2017 Doklam standoff.

 * Comment How about moving it to "2017 China-India military standoff" to include both the Doklam as well as Ladakh incident and also fixing the issues with using the word "border". Ind akash (talk) 07:05, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Support yeah let's do this my friend. 損齋 (talk) 05:18, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Partial support I still think it's important to name the parties involved since most sources cited frame the standoff as an issue in India-China relations. However calling it only "China-India (or India-China) border standoff" is inaccurate because it is not technically at their border, and they could have another standoff somewhere else during 2017. Maybe "2017 China-India standoff at Doklam"? Kbseah (talk) 05:24, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:NPOV--Wikireader41 (talk) 15:16, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Support It will make clear that the area where the standoff is happening is not claimed by India. Ishnigarrab (talk) 18:25, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Partial support I agree with Kbseah that the standoff is perceived as an issue in India-China relations in the world, but I think it is even better to use the title "2017 China–India standoff at Donglang/Doklam". This spells out the main players in the standoff as the world perceives, as well as the location in a neutral language. In the spirit of WP:NPOV, using "Donglang/Doklam" in the title is better than "Doklam" since the latter is the name India uses, but China calls it Donglang. If one looks on google map now, it is called Donglang Caochang (meaning Donglang pasture or Donglang grazing field in Chinese), but Doklam does not even show up thereon. Bing map has both names though. "China-India" vs "Donglang/Doklam" in the title is a perfect correspondence to me. Adam4math (talk) 19:06, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Opppose - there has been escalation in other areas of the border as well, several indian and chinese soldiers were injured in a brawl on the border near Ladakh today []. Probably the most serious incident this year between the two parties, and no where near doklam.XavierGreen (talk) 23:59, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I also think the name should not be changed as the tensions between both countries is not only relate to single location. The latest incident related happened in Laddakh where both army got brawled and their soldiers injured. That incident also should be cover within this article. सुमित सिंह (talk) 03:22, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The conflict is not limited to Doklam. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:20, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose - As Kautilya said, the conflict is not limited to Doklam, we have incidences in Ladakh as well, also, in all pre existing military confrontations, it has been standard policy to name the two countries in the title, I think we should keep it that way, also, agreed that the area is not contested as Indian territory but the primary military opposition is being given by India and not Bhutan.

Missing events in timeline
This article's series of events starts at June 29. It doesn't mention the events of June 16th, where Indian troops crossed the LAC into actual Chinese territory in order to stop Chinese road construction that was still on Chinese territory. By excluding this, it seems to be presenting a false narrative of how the standoff actually started.

Links to China's position paper
Kautilya3, All the links to China's official position paper "The Facts and China's Position Concerning the Indian Border Troops' Crossing of the China-India Boundary in the Sikkim Sector into the Chinese Territory (2017-08-02)" worked perfectly, and the paper came out right away after one click for my edited version at

However, after you made the changes in two steps at

they do not work anymore.

You un-necessarily added "[page needed]" every time this document is cited so that the reader has to click several times and still could not find the link. China's short position paper, just like those of India and Bhutan, is for people to look into. But after what you did to the links, the reader would get confused and frustrated - just as I myself was when I tried those links after your edits above. This no doubt will make the reader to hate whatever is connected to this document: China.

Today, I supplied the page numbers for every "[page needed]":

but the document still does not open directly. For this version (at 03:26, 25 August 2017), China's position paper is cited as [3], [8], [15], [16] (these numbers may change when new references are added later). Also, the last occurrence of [16] does not have the same page number as the earlier one, which was fine before your edits since no page number was required. Can you fix all of these? Thanks.

Nehru's letter on 26 September 1959
Hi CMaldoror, I added the following comment on the media's reported "Nehru letter": Adam4math (talk) 18:24, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

I have removed this reader comment from the article text. Please discuss the issues here, not in the main space.

-- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:33, 25 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Kautilya3, I removed the suspicious part of "Nehru's letter", keeping only the part that is authentic which is identical to what is in China's position paper (page 15), and in agreement with words of its Spokesperson Geng Shuang (though not exactly same words). Any intelligent reader can tell from the cited article in the media that the part in (This clearly refers to ...... were not involved) is a comment made by either someone later in India's government, or by the media itself. Adam4math (talk) 18:48, 25 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, the Hindustan Times article is wrong. It copied content from a Claude Arpi article, and botched it up. This citation should be deleted. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:04, 25 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Interesting, I hadn't expected such a blatant misquotation. Do you think we should keep this section as is or reword/expand it to explain why this quote-related controversy arose? To me at least, the whole section doesn't make any sense as is: a Chinese quote is "refuted" by Indian media highlighting the exact same quote (the misquotation not being mentioned in the wikipedia Article) and a Chinese spokesperson responding to a non-existent refutation (the refutation is a comment on the quote that was subsequently presented as a part of the quote, as you said). CMaldoror (talk) 00:42, 26 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, to me, the whole article doesn't make sense. I am not working on it yet until I finish the Doklam article. Please feel free to edit it as you see fit. Remember that we do not accept newspapers as reliable sources for history. It is best to attribute any such historical claims to the newspaper concerned so that we don't take the blame for it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:31, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Manoj Joshi
After rushing to the media with a whole bunch of half-baked information (he didn't even know where Doklam was initially), Manoj Joshi has now produced a well-researched article. This should be considered the authoritative statement of his views and override whatever he said in the media. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:06, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Manoj Joshi, Doklam: To start at the very beginning, Observer Research Foundation, 9 August 2017.
 * He is still not sure if Gipmochi and Gyemochen are the same place. But we know for sure. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:11, 26 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Kautilya3, I think you mis-read Dr. Manoj Joshi: He was just pointing out the confusion on Gipmochi caused by maps in India. China will have to be patient and tolerate its neighborhood's confusion. Truthreigns (talk) 06:34, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Disengagement
Kautilya3, Record shows that you composed the section on Disengagement. You effort is appreciated. I disagree on a couple of sentences for reasons below.

"Both countries also said that they would continue to patrol the Doklam area"? I notice this is from a report by Washington Post but no other major newspaper in the west mentions this. China did say it would continue patrol Doklam and much more as recorded on its foreign official ministry official web page at http://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/2511_665403/t1487932.shtml but no such statement can be found on India's MEA web site except its short and only "Press Statement on Doklam disengagement understanding". Who will believe that India would continue to patrol the Doklam area after such a standoff in which China asserted India violated its territorial sovereignty and trampled international law after it crossing an international boundary to face the Chinese, and that an US senior administration official said US was concerned about sovereignty issues and adherence to international law as Hindustantimes reported one day earlier on 27 August, 2017? Is this standoff fun at all, and India intends to go into Doklam again to cause another one? This does not make sense. I do not think Washington Post can be trusted on such a report, because India's official statement does not have any such statement. I think this sentence should be removed.

"Indian MEA issued a second statement later in the day that both the sides have withdrawn "under verification"."? No such a "second statement" can be found anywhere except what the media claimed. This sentence should be removed also if no genuine source can be found to backup the statement. On the other hand, official release from China's foreign ministry says "In light of the changes on the ground, China will accordingly make necessary adjustments and deployment."

Reuters is the most neutral among all the major media reports on any issue (see wikipedia article on this). I believe its reports are more trustworthy. Truthreigns (talk) 05:21, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Disagree with Truthreigns. Washington Post is a neutral and respectable source. Being covered by Reuters is not the litmus test for truth. Further, regarding your remarks :
 * "Who will believe that India would continue to patrol the Doklam area after such a standoff in which China asserted India violated its territorial sovereignty and trampled international law after it crossing an international boundary to face the Chinese, and that an US senior administration official said US was concerned about sovereignty issues and adherence to international law as Hindustantimes reported one day earlier on 27 August, 2017? Is this standoff fun at all, and India intends to go into Doklam again to cause another one? 
 * Kindly dont't assert POV into wikipedia as you have done above. Nikkei2017 (talk) 08:35, 29 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I think, to override Washington Post, we need a source that says that India agreed not to patrol the area. Or, we find over time that this was misinformation from Washington Times. Time will tell. At the moment, I don't see any need to change anything. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 08:44, 29 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I take that back. I notice that that news report was from AP (Associated Press), which is not in general highly reliable. I will change the wording. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:46, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Government statements

 * Kautilya3, At 15:54, 31 August 2017, you performed this action:


 * You obviously are saying that Scenario 1 below is reliable and Scenario 2 is propaganda when they appear in Wikipedia.


 * Scenario 1: Newspaper A said that government of China said so and so plus something twistings without giving China's official resource.


 * Scenario 2: Direct quote from government of China's official release: it said so and so.


 * When others such as no1lovesu tried to refer directly to a statement of Chinese government, you also said he was adding propaganda and removed it without discussion to get a consensus.


 * After removing government of China's direct statements while keeping the full length of India's, you add this opinion from Washington Post: "However China was continuing to be "cagey" in its official remarks."


 * I do not understand your logic. Seriously, which is more reliable and more objective in the spirit of Wikipedia's WP:NPOV?


 * You insist on using reports from Indian news channel NDTV and Times of India. Would it be appropriate if one insists on using only media reports from China, such as the Global Times and ignore India media? Is this in line with Wikipedia's WP:NPOV?


 * What I mean is that neither Indian nor Chinese media reports should be used for this section since they are biased, but we should use the government official statements, and reliable neutral third party's reports.


 * Is it possible that you re-study carefully WP:NPOV so that we reach a consensus on this part? Thanks. Truthreigns (talk) 06:20, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

All government statements potentially include propaganda. They are WP:PRIMARY sources, and can only be used when validated by secondary sources.

The only Indian/Chinese source used in that section is for the Bhutanese statement. The rest are all WP:THIRDPARTY.

Let me also highlight this passage from the Washington Post article from the 28th:

Your effort to add PRIMARY source statements that contradict the experts "common sense" is a serious problem. When you cite SECONDARY sources, you need to accurately summarise the entire source, not cherry pick statements that you find convenient for your POV. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:18, 1 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Kautilya3, I'm afraid you are talking about yourself when you mentioned "cherry pick statements that you find convenient or your POV". A couple of statements by Chinese government you removed from the article were uniformly reported in all major newspapers in the world as well as all the newspapers in India that I checked. Isn't this your cherry picking?


 * About statements you quoted Mao Siwei as made, I found they were reported by the media in India, but you omitted some other statements he reportedly made that would contravene your POV. Isn't this also cherry picking?


 * I personally believe China has put road construction on hold, but Wikipedia says this is not allowed: "The author's own viewpoint is mentioned or obvious" cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV_dispute


 * You added the quote "However China was continuing to be "cagey" in its official remarks" from Washington Post (WP), but conveniently ignored that statements made by India government were even more so - most citizens in Indian complained that the statements were too ambiguous even after their government made two statements: cf https://mobile.twitter.com/MEAIndia/status/902148971136655360 To be fair and unbiased, the quoted statement from WP needs be removed.


 * You probably know this: Of all articles WP wrote about China in the last twenty or thirty years, you will not find a single one that says anything favorable about China. WP is grossly biased against China, more so than any other newspapers in the West. Isn't your choice of media report by WP an example of cherry picking to support your POV? Truthreigns (talk) 06:27, 2 September 2017 (UTC)


 * There is nothing in Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy that says we have to be favourable or unfavourable to one country or the other. Our only goal is to summarise the reliable sources to the best of our ability. If you think my summary is not good enough, you are welcome to take it to WP:NPOV Noticeboard and invite other editors to look at it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 08:01, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

You cant say it's propaganda so you cannot post china's statement, while you automatically ignore that indian media always lies and they are also propaganda , it's double-standered. --解放的高加索 (talk) 03:05, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

The Sino-Indian conflict has been resolved as far as I know. Although I do question the neutrality of Western media, I would say it is useless to "protest" anything at all. However, my compatriot, your sayings here may only let these people think that we are whining about something. In fact, we did everything right and in accordance with the international law. So, yes, my compatriots, fear not any media biases, our lands are secure as usual.損齋 (talk) 03:20, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I have also used Al Jazeera, which is not "wetern" in the normal sense of the word. I have cited Taylor Fravel, who is "western", but seems sympathetic to China's stance. If you have any other high quality WP:THIRDPARTY sources that provide different viewpoints, please feel free to bring them up. However, I would like to see a stop to the nationalistic jingoism that continues to persist here. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:42, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Aw hohoho it's ok I was feeling bad about these guys' saying of "Poor indians" and stuff. You need to understand that some of my compatriots do not know how to express themselves in a democratic environment. Please do not take it personal or feel bad, they are probably middle school kids.

They do sometimes have difficulties understanding Wikipedia's policies.

Now. I do not really know much about this conflict since I find it boring........

Media Reports on current Situation
I have made some changes on current situation of site as some media reports claim that both side troops still on stand off site and they just moved 150 meter back each. Financial Express claimed it here []. The matter is solved as per both nations official but there is no doubt that still both nation troops are patrolling there. सुमित सिंह (talk) 03:46, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

New parts of non-Chinese neutral media sources
This time I add some non-Chinese neutral media sources, and I think it is no guilty to describe something really happens, such as statement released from both sides ministry. --解放的高加索 (talk) 18:36, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You added Times of India and India Today (involved countries) and tagged Financial Express as "unreliable". I am hard put to find any logic in your edits. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:45, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sources have claimed that road construction has been halted. South China Morning Post - China ‘halts road building’ to end India border stand-off  []. Even the Chinese government never stated that the construction is not halted but it merely stated that the road construction will be looked into when 'weather' is right. When situation changes in future we can update the article but as of now the construction has indeed been halted. Its not a claim as the edits by 解放的高加索 suggest. Further, the mutual withdrawal is also now misleadingly conveyed in the article with nationalistic statements like "defence" of "every inch" of the disputed Doklam region" makes me wonder if I am really reading a encyclopedia? 解放的高加索 kindly keep the nationalist rhetoric away from wikipedia. Largely the headlines from the news outlets are conveying that the withdrawal was mutual e.g. The international community heaved a sigh of relief after a joint announcement last week from Beijing and New Delhi that their respective troops have withdrawn to positions as on June 16, from Doklam area located at the Bhutan-China-India tri-junction. [] Nikkei2017 (talk) 06:50, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, though years later, according to the latest Sattelite Image the Chinese road construction within Doklam Plateau is completed by now.--霎起林野间 (talk) 03:08, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Incursion of Indian UAV around the 7 december
I don't know if it can be considered as part of the standoff, but an indian UAV crossed the border and crashed in China. Indian authority claimed they lost contact with the UAV during a training mission.

UNVERIFIABLE INFORMATION WITHIN PHOTOGRAPH
I will be looking at Wikipedia policy more closely. Nevertheless, common sense would dictate that the picture on the article contains POV and unverifiable information. There should clearly be an obligation upon the user who uploaded it to provide verifiable sources that what the picture contains is accurate. As it stands, the picture is UNVERIFIED and should be promptly removed. ASavantDude (talk) 22:34, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Addition of Dubious Tags to Images, and possibly, in due course, the article itself
Clearly, as the Chinese Foreign Ministry is one of the parties to the Border dispute, the additions of sources of information clearly flout 'Neutral Point of View' policies, and the pictures are therefore liable to be removed in due course. Discussion on the Talk page is likely Wikipedia policy concerning the fate of these images.

ASavantDude (talk) 23:19, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Added a Dubious tag to the Chinese Foreign Ministry's Bibliography reference. In due course, it would be reasonable (ie: Wikipedia policy) to remove dubious pictures, references, etc...

Can you please explain why the source used here is reliable? Blogs are generally avoidable, as they involved minimal editorial oversight. Your input would be appreciated. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:46, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Calling it a "victory" is nonsense. It was a standoff that was resolved to apparent Indian satisfaction. But the Doklam plateau is still under Chinese control and they are building a heavy military base there, which can't be to India's satisfaction. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 22:21, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I used the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) because it is a British research institute in the area of international affairs. It has been used over 300 times on Wikipedia. The author of the article also seems to be having enough credentials. Siddsg (talk) 03:44, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The institute might generally be reliable; a blog is less likely to be. The author's credentials are not nothing, but they're also clearly not a scholar, and even if they were, using that article for a statement in Wikipedia's voice is dubious. Vanamonde (Talk) 04:01, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

New academic paper on the 2017 standoff
Notifying interested editors that a new academic paper has been published in Asian Affairs, with an analysis of the pre-1962 border (including Aksai Chin, Galwan, etc.), the 2017 clashes, the June 2020 skirmishes, the border management system, and proposals from both sides.

Its coverage on the 2017 standoff goes beyond much of what is in the WP article right now, so we should definitely integrate it. It's not freely accessible without academic access, so if nobody else does it now, I might get around to it eventually. — MarkH21talk 03:42, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
