TAUSEEF MUSTAFA/AFP via Getty Images China's construction of military infrastructure along its border with India suggests Beijing is taking a different approach to the territorial dispute between the two countries. China's aggressive strategy will likely prompt India to respond in kind, leading to a greater concentration of military assets along their disputed border and increasing the risk of escalations and sustained conflict. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. China's intensified development of military infrastructure on the Indian border suggests a shift in Beijing's approach to territorial disputes, forcing New Delhi to rethink its national security posture.China is expanding and upgrading a large number of military facilities along its entire border with India as tensions continue to run high in the wake of the bloody clash between Indian and Chinese forces in June, followed by the reported exchange of gunfire in late August.New Delhi has struggled to come to terms with these recent escalations, but the new strategic reality created by Beijing's permanent infrastructure drive will nonetheless force New Delhi to shape its future defense posture around long-term outlooks of China's growing capabilities in its border regions. Stratfor China's construction drive projects a future military capability that will see long-term regional tensions with India sustained beyond the two countries' recent standoffs.

  • Fragments of bird flu virus genome found in pasteurized milk, FDA says
    Ars Technica, Tuesday - 04/23/2024 - 09:20 PM

    Enlarge / Cows being milked (credit: Getty | Edwin Remsberg) The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday announced that genetic fragments from the highly-pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 have been detected in the pasteurized, commercial milk supply.

Testing is now ongoing to see if viable, infectious H5N1 can be identified in milk samples. So far, the FDA still believes that the milk supply is safe.
