'''Bishing''' is a border village in the Indian state of [[Arunachal Pradesh]] in the [[Upper Siang district]], [[Gelling, Arunachal Pradesh|Gelling Circle]]. It is one of the northernmost populated places of the state, located on the [[Line of Actual Control]] with China. The [[Tsangpo River]] (Brahmaputra) enters India at Bishing, from where it is known as the "Siang River". Across the border in Tibet lies the [[Medog County]] with the [[Namcha Barwa]] mountain and the [[Tsangpo gorge]].<br />

The Tsangpo River describes an S-shaped bend as it enters India. The Line of Actual Control (LAC) itself runs along the river in the middle of the bend. Bishing is at its lower right hand corner.<br />
<br />
Bishing is 7&nbsp;km by foot from the nearest village [[Gelling, Arunachal Pradesh|Gelling]], and 33&nbsp;km from [[Tuting]], the nearest town. The nearest air connectivity is at the [[Tuting Advanced Landing Ground]], but the village itself has a small helipad as of 2021.<br />
<br />
The Government of Arunachal Pradesh has proposed to build a 150&nbsp;km-long highway between [[Yingkiong]] and Bishing.<ref name="HT" /><br />

== Chinese incursions ==<br />
Chinese incursions into the area have been reported in the press. In 2018, the president of the National People's Party issued a press release stating that China had constructed a two-kilometre long road in the region of Bishing.<ref name="Arunachal24">[https://arunachal24.in/china-constructed-two-km-of-road-inside-indian-territory-in-arunachal-pradesh-npp-state-president/ China constructed two Km of road inside Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh - NPP State President], Arunachal24, 6 July 2019.</ref><ref name=Caravan>M.

The road was laid from the Tibetan temple called Degangsi, near the [[Delgon]] village ({{zh|t=德尔贡村|p=Dé'ěr gòng cūn}}), towards the Line of Actual Control. It had stretched 1&nbsp;km into Indian territory according to the report. ''The Print'' opined that China was trying to create '[[Chinese salami slicing theory|facts on the ground]]' to shift the border.<ref>Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, [https://theprint.in/opinion/satellite-images-show-china-road-runs-deep-into-arunachal-defence-expert-abhijit-iyer-mitra/287327/ Satellite images show China road runs deep into Arunachal: Defence expert Abhijit Iyer-Mitra], The Print, 6 September 2019.</ref><br />
