High in the foggy Himalayas, a winding mountain road opens up to a clearing in the 
pine forested valley, revealing sections of uniform Tibetan-style houses, 
each finished off with a Chinese standard.



Improvement is happening in this remote spot. Stacks of logs and other 
building materials line the road. On a nearby slope, cranes tower over rising 
apartment blocks.



"They are building resettlement houses here," says the Chinese travel vlogger 
who filmed these scenes last year, speaking into his phone on the side of the road. 
"As soon as people live and settle here, it clearly proves that this is our 
country's territory."



However, the town - known as Demalong and officially settled in Spring 
last year with a neighborhood of 70 families, according to an organization 
notice found in the recording - isn't simply arranged there of brain by 
the world's ascendent superpower.
