🇧🇹 Bhutan: What it means to be happy in the 'happiest country' | Al Jazeera English

Bhutan is the only country in the world to measure success not by economic growth but by "gross national happiness".
The philosophy has been at the centre of all government policy for the past 10 years.
But development over the years is putting the ideal of happiness under strain.

Al Jazeera's Neave Barker reports from the Himalayan kingdom.

In 2017, Bhutan informed China of the existence of the particular land dispute btw two countries and dispatched Indian troops ( a third party to claim) to enforce the claim. This sudden escalation of armed confrontation is not what the happiest people do. Pull out of gun at your neighbor and say “ f-off” is not so jolly. If the neighbor is 100 times stronger, that’s sheer madness. Should use diplomatic means, such as UN appeal, formal condemnation, international court proceedings etc. before armed confrontations.
