Has China quietly occupied more land in Arunachal Pradesh without firing a single shot? A tribal body in Upper Subansiri has alleged that the PLA has built roads, bridges and military camps across five traditional grazing areas over the past six years. The Indian Army says there has been no intrusion, while Union Minister Kiren Rijiju says there have been transgressions because the India-China boundary remains undemarcated. So what is the difference between a transgression and an intrusion? And why does that distinction matter so much? This report explains China's alleged salami-slicing strategy and why India's official terminology is rooted in the unresolved Line of Actual Control. Is this simply another border patrol issue, or a larger strategic challenge unfolding quietly in Arunachal Pradesh?
