India cop theses!
GMD / KMT actually still contests the sovereignty of Mongolia and blocked their entry into the UN while holding the China seat. As for declaring independence, the East Turkestan Republic, which held parts of Xinjiang, was similarly independent, but the Soviets backstabbed their leadership and handed the territory to the Chinese.
Treating Chinese territorial integrity as inviolate when China has negotiated border settlements with various countries is complete garbage and gives people the sense you're an ultranationalist.
Point is, though, despite the fact that China will negotiate borders, it has no reason to with India when India, first, is actually expansionistic (annexed Goa, annexed Sikkim), and second, is busy aligning with an enemy state.

China never recognize the independent of East Turkestan just like Mongolia it is creation of Russia. Qing government has constant present until Xinhai revolution then they sort retreat and create power vacuum in Xinjiang which this separatist use to declare independent but very brief 1933 to 1934 but crushed by warlord Sheng Shicai. then the 2nd Turkestan in 1940's But Mao persuade them to give up and create Xinjiang autonomous region and the ringleader Aptekin fled to Turkey
India has always has designed on Tibet because of McMahon line which is fictive creation of British as China never sign or recognize the line. So there is no justification at all for India claim. China took over the south Tibet and Ladakh in 62 war But because they are more urgent need to develop the economy. China sue for peace, China willingly give it back to India . So there is nothing ultra nationalist here. Those land are China's to begin with and due to weak Qing dynasty China temporally lost control.

If that's what you call world class road, what do you call a paved road?
Maybe they are just prepping the ground for laying the asphalt layers? Anyway, the word "world class" here probably refers to the use of automated machinery used to do this. Good enough for Indian domestic propaganda, I guess.
