Beijing think-tank links scrapping of Article 370 to LAC tensions

India’s move changing status of J&K ‘challenged sovereignty of Pakistan and China’ says report

A report authored by a senior figure at an influential Chinese think-tank has linked the current tensions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) to India’s move last year to abrogate Article 370 and change the status of Jammu and Kashmir, a decision that China had voiced opposition to.

The article, for the first time, described the move as a joint challenge to China and Pakistan, saying the move had “posed a challenge to the sovereignty of Pakistan and China”.

The report was shared on Friday on social media by a press officer at the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad, although it was first published on June 4 and has since been shared on several Chinese websites.

Status of Ladakh
“On the Chinese side, India opened up new territory on the map, incorporated part of the areas under the local jurisdiction of Xinjiang and Tibet into its Ladakh union territory,” it said. “This forced China into the Kashmir dispute, stimulated China and Pakistan to take counter-actions on the Kashmir issue, and dramatically increased the difficulty in resolving the border issue between China and India.”

The article was authored by Wang Shida, who is Deputy Director of the Institute of South Asian Studies at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR). CICIR is a Beijing-based think-tank that is affiliated to the Ministry of State Security, China’s top intelligence body.

Mr. Wang noted that the Chinese Foreign Minister had conveyed China’s strong opposition to the move to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar during his visit to Beijing last year, following the abrogation of Article 370 and the establishment of Ladakh as a union territory. The week before the August visit, Home Minister Amit Shah had spoken in Parliament about taking back Azad Kashmir (Azad Kashmir) and Aksai Chin.

Mr. Jaishankar conveyed to Beijing that the move was an entirely internal matter that did not impact India’s external boundaries or the LAC with China. China had opposed the Ladakh map for including Aksai Chin.

The article said the move had “posed a challenge to the sovereignty of Pakistan and China” and “made India-Pakistan relations and China-India relations more complex.” It noted that China had raised the issue at the United Nations Security Council.

U.S. role
The author hit out at what he called India's “double confidence” behind the move. The first, he said, was the 2019 election win that gave the Bharatiya Janata Party “unprecedented political confidence”. The second reason, he said, was that the “United States and some other Western countries puffed India up from an ideological point of view” to “hedge” against China.

“To this end,” he said, “India was seen as a favourite by the U.S., which not only drew India over to its side and praised India but also turned a blind eye to the excessive use of force and other misdeeds of the Indian authorities” in Kashmir.

“Regardless of how confident India is and no matter how good it feels about itself,” he concluded, “its attempts to forcibly seize territory are doomed to fail.”

Its not rocket science.

India's unilateral decision to change demographics of disputed territories amounts to a legal war.

The question is if India can sustain her challenge to One China policy of Beijing.

we already have kashmir in our control , let the chinese think tank talk about persecution of Uyghurs in china .
 
Article 370 is gone for good.
China will need to find way to put off the fire off their rear.
 
Uighurs live a much better life than most Indians can only dream of.

that why they are kept in social reform camps ? indian muslims have become president , chief justice , chief minister, governors .they are free to practice their religion .
 
living like prisoners ? LOL ....:D
You can believe whatever makes you happy, the fact is still they live a way better life than you do.

Yea we all h saw the interview of uighyur lady telling how she was prisoned and raped for being a Muslim.
I have hundreds of videos showing the facts, but none is more blind than those who won't see. they still live a way better life than 99% of Indians do.
 
Life is totally back to normal in Xinjiang after Covid-19, if Xinjiang put people in camps how come there were ver few infection of the virus, but in India, you get thousands of infections everyday, what camps do you put all Indians in?

Post Covid-19 Xinjiang, life is totally back to normal now.

Many posters from China but they never report on the Chinese coverage of the dispute ?
Where are the Chinese media articles on the ongoing dispute ?
Is the movement of so many troops on both sides being covered in Chinese newspapers or is the news being suppressed ?
Maybe post a few articles from the Chinese media , translated .
