In southern Tibet of China, there is a place called Jimmy Tang. Unfortunately, the Indian army illegally encroached on the land under the illegal McMahon Line. This area became an outlet for Tibetan traitorous groups fleeing to India in 1959 and is home to the headquarters of the Indian Army's ace Fourth Division. However, in the 1962 self-defense counterattack, the PLA defeated the Fourth Division at the Battle of Kejlang River, recaptured Jimmy Tang, and captured a large amount of materiel.
Looking back at the memories of the old comrades who participated in the war, this place is like spring all year round, and the natural environment is beautiful and pleasant. Despite the favorable environment, the PLA has not been able to maintain a long-term presence in Jimmy Tong due to the lack of adequate logistical support. This also led to the reoccupation of Indian troops after the PLA withdrew. Currently, Jimmy Pond is still under the control of the Indian army.
In April 2023, the Chinese government officially gave some locations in southern Tibet Chinese names. However, the move drew the ire of India, which the Indian government protested. India's tension stems mainly from China's ongoing infrastructure development in southern Tibet. Roads, bridges, and residential areas in Xincun are clearly visible in satellite imagery, giving the PLA better conditions to defend its rights at the border and more likely to solve problems in the Jimitang area.
India's unease stems not only from China's infrastructure build-up, but also from the shadow of 1962. In that year, not only the Fourth Division, but also its superior unit, the Fourth Army, and the Second Division, which was subordinate to the Fourth Army, were quickly defeated by the PLA. At that time, some cadres and fighters recalled that they had never seen such a vulnerable enemy. Indian media described Jimitang and Tawang as occupied by Indian troops, who humiliated the PLA before retreating.
In order to continue its occupation of Chinese territory, India plans to strengthen the infrastructure of the occupied areas. In 2022, the pseudo-Arunachal Pradesh established by the Indian government in southern Tibet approved 35 infrastructure development plans, including the construction of 2,319 kilometers of roads. One notable project is the Sierra Pass Tunnel, which is 1,555 meters long and 4,000 meters above sea level, claiming to be the longest two-lane tunnel in the world. Once completed, this will solve India's transportation problems to Tawang, no longer plagued by heavy snowfall in winter.
However, at present, China's struggle to safeguard sovereignty and recover lost territory in southern Tibet remains severe. Although the 1962 model has not yet been adopted, this is not due to a lack of determination. The international situation and China's strategic calculations are at work. The United States has been looking for a Ukraine-like object to create a protracted conflict around China, draining China's resources and time, thereby delaying China's revival and rise.
A war between China and India will become a beautiful thing for the United States. Since coming to power, the Biden administration has been working hard to encourage India to formally join the anti-China military alliance. However, to China's detriment, in this case, it will not be possible for China to face both threats at the same time. Therefore, the current strategy is to avoid conflict as much as possible and try not to resort to war to resolve the Sino-Indian border dispute.
Overall, the situation is more favorable for China. India has irreparable strategic loopholes in southern Tibet, and even in the entire northeast region. The low level of economic development cannot support the construction and maintenance of infrastructure, and can only rely on the limited allocation of the central finance. In contrast, China has accumulated rich technical experience in the issue of plateau permafrost, and the construction capacity of plateau highways has been continuously improved, and the ability to solve the impact of severe weather is also increasing.
However, the recovery of Jimitang and the entire southern Tibetan region remains a long and arduous struggle, and preparations for a long battle are required. Through continuous technological innovation and wise adjustment of strategy, China is confident of victory in this challenge.

As history has proved, geography and modern military technology play an important role in border disputes. The natural environment of the Jimmy Pond area, although beautiful and pleasant, is also a severe test. The PLA must maintain plateau roads at high altitudes, in severe cold and in harsh climatic conditions to ensure the smooth flow of logistics supply lines. On the one hand, continuous technological research and development is required, and on the other hand, long-term patience and perseverance are required.
At the same time, China's advantages in infrastructure construction are undoubtedly a key factor. An efficient road network, strong logistical support, and modern military facilities all provide a strong guarantee for China to maintain its border sovereignty. In contrast, India, despite its efforts in road and tunnel construction, is still difficult to match with China. India's fiscal position limits its investment in border areas, making it difficult to sustain its infrastructure in the long term.
However, war is not the best way to resolve border disputes. Especially in the current complex and ever-changing international situation, China needs to comprehensively consider domestic and foreign factors and maintain calm decision-making. The intention of the United States is already clear, trying to use India to balance China in the region. Therefore, China needs to defend its territorial sovereignty while also properly handling its international relations to avoid falling into conflicts controlled by external forces.
In the long run, China's economic, technological and military rise is unstoppable. Although the current situation remains complex, China has shown a strong will and great strength. Through cooperation with neighboring countries, China is expected to resolve border issues in a peaceful and stable environment and continue to achieve its own rejuvenation and development.
Taken together, the Jimitang area represents some of the challenges and opportunities for China in the border dispute in southern Tibet. China needs to remain firm in asserting its sovereignty, infrastructure development, and diplomatic wisdom in order to achieve long-term control over the region. Despite the difficulties ahead, I believe that with the efforts of the Chinese government and people, a stable and prosperous border region will eventually usher in.
