Looking at maps I'm don't see what is to gain by China in the area.

The Galwan valley is almost off the maps as far as India is concerned.

1) Is the China move an effort to gain Pakistan favor by vesting Jammu & Chasmire and Ladakh by proxy?

2) Given the areas ethniic & tribal tilt, does consoladation make any sense.

3) Are there mineral/oil assest worth the trouble?

Maps showing ethnicnic movements after partition (1947), areas of conflict and old 'British India' boundary, and current foot print
