What is Mêdog? The isolated Chinese enclave in South Tibet, and How the illegal McMahon Line came into being
How illegal The McMahon Line came into being and why China withdrew after 1962 China-India border war1986年傅全有视察墨脱时，发现300名解放军都没穿军装，为何？
In 1989, PLA general Fuquanyou arrived in Medog via a military helicopter to inspect the border troops, he was shocked to find out all the soldiers wore various civilian clothes but not PLA uniforms, later he learned that because Medog was a totally cut off enclave on the southern slope of the Himalaya Mountains with no road connections, No supplies, including PLA uniforms could be delivered into the Medog region. Many times these border soldiers had to hunt in the jungle for their own food.
Mêdog was the last Chinese county being connected by roads in 2013.
