web bhutan, china and india all clashed together. those in bhutan as an aggressive act and india is kind of weekly coming up to bhutan‘s defence. but it is a strategically important move by the chinese, and another example of the people's liberation army and the chinese government getting very, very assertive in terms of its foreign policy and military posture. whether oi’ policy and military posture. whether or not this turns into something more significant, we will wait to see. what it is another example of china playing the hired man rather than the diplomat. and it is interesting, if you look at the figures, india has a lot more to lose here, potentially —— hard man. it absolutely does, which is why the diplomatic language is starting to kick in. what it as a potential flashpoint, without doubt. we have been hearing a lot from rodrigo duterte in the last 2a hours, and pretty much everything, from terrorism to his war on drugs as well. this is a man who doesn't hold back. here's the asian strongman. we are talking about the us str

there is an ongoing standoff in a sector close to bhutan. reporter: it is in between the territory that india and china share. this is a pretty serious standoff that has been taking place for about five weeks. it has not really been reported widely in the press. the indian and chinese military have been facing off in this sector because both india and china accuse each other of illegally crossing the borders into bhutan. bhutan is considered to be india's ally. it is a tiny kingdom dependent on india. the crisis has prompted fierce opinions in the press. let's start with an indian website which says "this is not a bilateral, but a trilateral crisis, because india needs to stand up for blue tamme, at the risk of blue 10 being seduced by china." india has opted for a restrained approach. now is the time to be more aggressive, says the indian paper. the chinese government paper has an outright morning, saying if india chooses a military showdown, beijing will fight to the very end. catherine: moving away from that story to one that has made new
