Indian-Chinese Border

[5link]

Analysis by Stratfor, small and brief:

The Himalayan Mountains separate China and India and effectively prevent the two countries from making any significant military advances against each other. However, this has not eliminated tensions altogether. There are numerous territorial disputes along the mountainous Indian-Chinese border. China possesses extensive territory in northwestern India's Kashmir region in three areas: the Shaksgam Valley, Aksai Chin and Demchok. Beijing also claims a considerable amount of territory that forms the northern rim of the northeast Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. From India's perspective, Nepal and Bhutan are buffer states situated between the northeastern and northwestern sections of the Indian-Chinese border. The mountainous state of Sikkim was a third buffer, located between the other two, and former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's government sought to fully absorb this state into India. Over the past six decades, there has been frequent clamor in India about potential threats from the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in various areas along India's northern flank. (The Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, located between Nepal and Kashmir along the border with China, are also considered vulnerable to Chinese military incursions.) In recent years, this perceived threat has led New Delhi to enhance its military defenses in relation to Beijing. Officials in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh occasionally will claim that the Chinese are building up their military on their side of the border, to which the Chinese issue counter-accusations. Aside from these accusations and military preparedness measures, India's border with China has remained calm for the last 50 years -- except for rare and minor incidents. This is not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

An unconventional perspective and something to think about

The two countries already opened borders for bi-lateral trading, so it is more than "don't shoot each other"

A truth must be spoken every time to burst the propaganda.

Its typical of Indians chinese don't treat our legitimate parts like Kashmir or Arunanchal Pradesh as our Territory but we have enough fools who keeps mum just for the sake of curtsy.

One needs to earn respect they should give respect to take respect.

Respect our territory.

Well this is the Article found on net and china is claiming following and others area.

China has territorial dispute with all nations it shares border with and 8 other nations. A look into the phenomenon:

• China has territorial dispute with all nations it shares border with and 8 other nations. A look into the phenomenon:
  
  India ::
  China illegally occupies 38,000 sq km (Aksai Chin) of land in Jammu & Kashmir. It also holds 5,180 km of Indian territory in Pakistan occupied Kashmir under Sino-Pak agreement of 1963. At the heart of Sino-Indian boundary dispute is the issue of Arunachal Pradesh (90,000 sq km), which China describes as "Southern Tibet". Beijing is demanding that at least the Tawang Tract of Arunachal Pradesh, if not the whole of the state, be transferred to China.
  
  Japan ::
  Parts of the East China Sea, particularly the Senkaku Islands. Also, on occasion, the Ryukyu Islands, on the grounds that the completely independent Kingdom of Ryukyu was once a vassal state of China. The Kingdom of Ryukyu terminated tributary relations with China in 1874.
  
  Afghanistan ::
  Afghan province of Bahdashan (despite bilateral treaty of 1963, China still encroaches on Afghan territory)
  
  Bhutan ::
  Bhutanese enclaves in Tibet, namely Cherkip Gompa, Dho, Dungmar, Gesur, Gezon, Itse Gompa, Khochar, Nyanri, Ringung, Sanmar, Tarchen and Zuthulphuk. Also Kula Kangri and mountainous areas to the west of this peak, plus the western Haa District of Bhutan
  
  Taiwan ::
  China claims all of Taiwan, but particular disputes are: Macclesfi eld Bank, Paracel Islands, Scarborough Shoal, parts of the South China Sea and the Spratly Islands. The Paracel Islands, also called Xisha Islands in Vietnamese, is a group of islands in the South China Sea whose sovereignty is disputed among China, Taiwan and Vietnam disputes with Burma.
  
  Kazakhstan ::
  There are continual unilateral claims by China on Kazakhstan territory, despite new agreements, in China's favour, signed every few years.
  
  Laos ::
  China claims large areas of Laos on historical precedent (China's Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368)
  
  Brunei ::
  Over Spratly Islands.
  The Spratly Islands is a disputed group of more than 750 reefs, islets, atolls, cays, and islands in the South China Sea. About 45 islands are occupied by small numbers of military forces from the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Brunei has also claimed an exclusive economic zone in the southeastern part of the Spratlys encompassing just one area of small islands on Louisa Reef. This has led to escalating tensions.
  
  Tajikistan ::
  Chinease claims based on historical precedent (Qing Dynasty, 1644-1912).
  
  Cambodia ::
  China has, on occasion, claimed parts of Cambodia on historical precedent (China's Ming Dynasty, 1368-1644).
  
  Indonesia ::
  Parts of the South China Sea.
  
  Kyrgyzstan ::
  China claims the majority of Kyrgyzstan on the grounds that it was unfairly forced to cede the territory (which it had formerly conquered) to Russia in the 19th century.
  
  Malaysia ::
  Over Parts of the S. China Sea, particularly the Spratly Islands.
  
  Mongolia ::
  China claims all of Mongolia on historical precedent (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368). In fact, Mongolia, under Genghis Khan, occupied China.
  
  Vietnam ::
  China claims large parts of Vietnam on historical precedent (Ming Dynasty, 1368-1644). Also, Macclesfi eld Bank, Paracel Islands, parts of the South China Sea and the Spratly Islands.
  
  Nepal ::
  China claims parts of Nepal dating back to the Sino-Nepalese War in 1788-1792. China claims they are part of Tibet, therefore part of China.
  
  North Korea ::
  Baekdu Mountain and Jiandao. China has also on occasion claimed all of North Korea on historical grounds (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368).
  
  Philippines ::
  Parts of the South China Sea, particularly Scarborough Shoal and the Spratly Islands.
  
  Russia ::
  160,000 square kilometres still unilaterally claimed by China, despite China signing several agreements.
  
  Singapore ::
  Parts of the South China Sea.
  
  South Korea ::
  Parts of the East China Sea. China has also on occasion claimed all of South Korea on historical grounds (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368).

What trolling. What he is stating is the fact. Tibet was free and forcefully taken over. Scotland is a part of Britain but soon will vote to decide its faith.

Well China (Zhonguao) must have to admit that they take Tibet in very killer manner, its not so that they believe that the people of Tibet is their own, like Pakistan believe kashmiris their own people, and thousands were killed like Juggernaut, The 21st Centuary will be seems more harmful then 20th in which WW1 and WW2 destroy Everything.

Well I dont know about the People of China's view, but yes the Communist are well know like al-quaeyda to kill their own people for their rules, In India too after winning of China 1962, Indian Communist party members went to china to congratulate them. Indians are really the great people. I think in US people do not support war on Iran or Afgan and they know that their government is Cruel one, What about chienese people? I think till 3000AD whole world will be belongs to the China. Dragon Attitude?
