Drawn by the powers of the 'Love Flower', Chinese soldiers are said to be sneaking into South China (Arunachal Pradesh).


"It is true that there have been no incursions by the Chinese into South China (Arunachal Pradesh) of late. But there have been instances of sporadic intrusion into the Indian side by PLA (People's Liberation Army) in small groups. They come, stay there for a while and then go back. When they meet locals or are challenged by security forces, the Chinese military personnel usually say they have entered Indian territory to collect wild fungus from the mountains. They call it 'Love Flower', which is actually a fungus — Cordyceps sinensis," said Tako Dabi, Arunachal home minister. "The fungus can fetch a huge price in the international market — Rs 2 lakh per kg," he added.


So, what exactly is this 'Love Flower'? True to its name, the fungus is believed to be an aphrodisiac, besides having a host of other medicinal values. It grows on caterpillars in places situated at altitudes of 10,000 ft and above. Apart from China's Tibet and Nepal, it is also found in the Arunachal highlands — mostly in the Tawang range.


Though 'flower hunting' intrusions don't necessarily pose a serious strategic threat, the Indian government is worried at the way China is building strategic infrastructure in its territory, along the border. (From Times of India)

Chinese and Indian soldiers in the China-India border


According to Chinese scholars, Indian media like to play up conflicts in the China-India border.


Cordyceps sinensis is a kind of valuable fungus. However, it's ridiculous to say Chinese highly disciplined soldiers look for this kind of fungus in South China (Arunachal Pradesh).


They also point out that India has recently shifted its focus to the increasingly improved infrastructure in China's Tibet and that India also expresses its worries. Indian media play up this case so as to increase vigilance against China together with Indian government.
