NEW DELHI–China is working to link the regions of Tibet and Xinjiang with a new road named “G216” that’s set to bring the greatest strategic challenge to India since the 1950s, according to experts.
“The G216 highway is rarely mentioned in the Chinese media; it is one of China’s most secret projects,” Claude Arpi, an author and expert on Tibet, wrote in a March 15 op-ed in First Post.
