As per a Hindustan Times report, China has ramped up construction of reinforced bunkers and underground facilities in Aksai Chin, located about 70km from the LAC with India. Satellite imagery comparisons from December 2021 and August 2023 by Maxar Technologies show China building hardened structures at least three spots in Aksai Chin to station more weapons and troops. The imagery shows reinforced personnel bunkers coming up, even as China released a new map claiming entire Arunachal and Aksai Chin, amid ongoing India-China border tensions. The construction highlights China's efforts to bolster its military presence along the sensitive boundary with India.
