Disagree. If you look at the incidents closely, the rows with both the Philippines and Japan started with these countries attacking helpless Chinese fishermen, and the with Vietnam started with Vietnamese oil declaration in Chinese claimed water. Remember, Chinese territorial claims have not changed since 1949, and the SCS claims have not changed since the 1920s.
In my opinion, it is the US that started the whole thing, but sponsoring the anti-China activity in these countries. Today, China is the only potential adversary of the United States. China has no choice but to respond. Between China and India there is no fundamental dispute, because India has always inspired to be a power and not dependent on neither the US nor the former USSR. Therefore, even with large area of border dispute, you rarely see either side provoking the other, except a few India media outlets that feeds on fake news the CIA is making.
Finally, it is in India's interest to be friends with China, too. Even today, India is accused of stealing American jobs and economy as the US medias typically bundle China and India together. If China falls, India will be the primary US target. Also to Indians who think that being a "democracy" will bring US friendship, just look at Iran that has elections and Saudi Arabia that doesn't, and with which country the US is a friend with. The US wants to eliminate anyone that threatens its hegemony.
On the border dispute between China and India, the status quo is the most likely final outcome. Historically, Zangnan (AP) belonged to China and Akai Chin belonged to India, but the fact is that neither region is resource rich or has strategic value, and
both are much easier to defend than to attack. The swap is the only logical outcome.
If the border dispute with India is settled, Then all land border issues with neighboring countries will officially be concluded for China.
To do so, the Chinese first have to understand that they are playing into the US cards, by threatening other Asian neighbors. That is exactly what they wanted, because now they look like the good guys and can create new ties with Asian countries like India.
The Chinese would have been smart, if they have countered this long ago by demilitarising the Tibet area and solving the border issues with India. That would have put US into disadvantage, because China could keep focus on their defence in the east, while the US still had to split forces towards the Indian Ocean area too. A simple move, with a big effect!
if that's the case why we need to fight a border war in 1962, might as well comply to Nerhu and Indian's demande and then be Indi Chi Bai Bai for ever LMAO.
