As the pics shown , China clained the red line as LAC, while India clained the green line as LAC.
However, both have Tacit: both sides don't make fixed post at this small disputed area. Even look at ntensive posts nere the red line(ITBP post, Daulat Beg Oldi, Leh, Indian Army post), but now, look at inner the red line, India made a new fixed post:Raki Nala(in the PLA clained LAC), PLA worry about India want another forward policy, so PLA made tent nere Raki Nala, India should remove the Raki Nala post then PLA will remove tent.
In the past, PLA and India army Cross-patrol between red line and green line, India army never pass the green line, PLA never pass the red line, India should remove the fixed post, this is wake-up memories of the forward policy of PLA, very similar to the forward policy
Even the green line and red line should not have been there(and that the fault entirely lies with government of India for its dovish attitude) - the dispute is Mcdonald line/Karakoram range vs Johnson line(includes Akshai Chin) - So the Raki Nala is well south of either of these lines - So the Chinese should not have issue at all.
So here is the basic fact - China layed highways and other infrastructure in the disputed region - Akshai Chin and the government of India kept quiet all along. Now when Indian army raised a tent, it has become a huge issue - That is where most Indians are upset and I am happy that media has blown this issue wide open so that the Government of India can't appear meek.
The map was first shown by India media, in order to make it clear I choose this, bcs all Chinese maple are not in English. I think that if India army not remove the fixed post, PLA will make the tent to be a fixed post too.
Agree on a line half-way between the red and green lines and call it a day. Where I live (El Paso Texas) the Rio Grande (agreed border between US and Mexico) shifted.....the land was turned into a park to be enjoyed by both nations. (PS.... I understand that given recent history both nations are loathe to give up even small tracts of worthless land, frightened of setting precedent....but it is time to show you have both matured beyond this insecurity.)
PLA made a tent made India so......., how do you think if PLA made a fixed post?? I don't agree with you, as your logic, India even don't want a Karakoram highway which links Xinjiang and Western Tibet, why India want this area????
PLA first don't want things bigger, but only let India know that and remove post, solved quietly, but some members of India gorv told that to big mouth media
That's another thing, India can buid anything out red line, China can build anything out green line; If China or India build anything between red and green line, will sure make another tense. If PLA made a tent can make India so tense, India not make a tent but a fixed post Raki Nala, PLA will feel more tense. Why India feel so tens for PLA's tent and ask Why China feel tense for INdia making fixed post
I am answering the boded part. Let me first make it clear India is not interested in the highway and we understand that it is important for China and we have no problem with it.
The RED line posted above is there only because China would be at a strategic disadvantage if the Indian army is allowed beyond that point as the highway would be susceptible for disruption by the Indian forces in case of war.
Similarly we (India) are complaining because the tents come's at close proximity to the DBO air field making it susceptible so we want the Chinese post to be removed.
Bottom line:
1. There is still a lot of distrust among the two countries.
2. Both the countries don't want to put themselves in a disadvantageous situation on the ground due to lack of trust.
3. India has strategic interest in DBO and China has strategic interest in the Highway.
Possible solution:
1. India needs to reassure China that its post at Raki Nala is only used to for supply and maintenance of DBO.
2. India and China have to sit and finalize the LAC first and come to an understanding on each others perception of the LAC
3. We should encourage joint patrols in areas of miss trust so that there is confidence on both sides.
Finally Thank you @xuxu1457 it was very nice to know the other side of the story.
I think the red line is win win too. any broke the status quo is unaccepted without talk on table, keep status quo and talk to solve boundary problem.@xuxu1457
Looking at the picture why dose not China agree for the green line (Indian perception of the LAC) it is almost equidistant from the the Highway and DBO.
Choosing that as the permanent border will settle the dispute. But choosing the red line (Chinese perception of the LAC) will be too close to DBO putting India to a disadvantage.
The green line is in the middle of the two strategic points in question. It would be a win win situation for both the countries what do u feel ?
