The US department of defence aka the Pentagon in its recent report states that China has built a large 100-home village inside disputed territory between its Tibet Autonomous Region and Arunachal Pradesh.

Sources in India's security establishment have vehemently denied the Pentagon report, saying it is in a territory controlled by the Chinese military for nearly six decades.

Dominic Xavier wonders if the Pentagon's claim that China has built a village in Arunachal Pradesh is true, was the government caught napping?
