China-India border dispute explained

In June 2020, the most serious confrontation between Chinese and Indian military forces since almost 60 years occurred at the Galwan River valley, right at the disputed border region, leaving several soldiers dead on both sides. This was a striking reminder that one of of the oldest ongoing territorial disputes is far from being solved, and since then concerns about a potential escalation of the issue have increased significantly.
While this Himalayan conflict between China and India can be observed regularly in the news, it is rare to be provided an actual explanation of what the whole issue is really about. In this video, we are taking a look at all the disputed territories, from Aksai Chin, over to Sikkim and finally to Arunachal Pradesh, or how China calls it, South Tibet. We explore the historic background of the conflict, its development in the 20th and 21st century and also look at some of the reasons why these territories matter so much to the two states.

One interesting fact that I learned while studying about India's dispute with China, is that the McMohan line was drawn by Henry McMohan while mapping out the border, was drawn by a rather thick red pen, which led to confusion about what the actual demarcation line was, resulting in China being able to assert it's claim over Arunachal Pradesh over the ambiguity over the demarcation amongst other reasons. A literal thick red pen used by a Britisher has led to billions of dollars of military expenditure by both the sides.

[@karlvan6405]

Britain took advantage of China's civil war to help draw the line between China and India, but China has never acknowledged it. After India's independence, it believed that it inherited the heritage of the British colonists, but China still did not recognize the boundary line. In 1962, with the support of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Indian army marched deep into Tibet, which was Nehru's forward policy. As a result, a war broke out between China and India in the border areas. After China defeated India, it took the initiative to declare a cease-fire and withdraw its troops to 20 kilometers north of the actual line of control, thus separating the two sides from contact. After that, China returned more than 4000 Indian prisoners of war and weapons seized from the Indian army. The reason why China won in the war but did not occupy the disputed areas is not because of the pressure from the United States. We all know that China had dealt with 16 countries headed by the United States as early as in the Korean War, and also with the United States in the Vietnam War. Then, why did China choose to withdraw its troops northward instead of occupying the disputed areas? The real reason is that the Chinese leaders at that time still wanted to solve the problem through peaceful negotiations. Only in this way can disputes be resolved permanently. If land is obtained through war, the two countries will never be able to resolve their hatred. Another reason is that both China and India suffered from aggression and colonization before independence. China hopes to maintain friendship with the third world countries and jointly confront the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union.

In history British invaded China several times, they forced China signed contract to give up the ownership of land to the India colony, As long as China signed the contract China accept it(in 19 century China twice gave up land,s to India colony). But in 20th century British just military occupied some new land which China never sign contract to give them up, India should not regard them as a part of India. Besides some these land British even did not occupied just claimed ownership one side. India already occupied a lot of China,s land which in law aspect still belong to China, while they want to occupied all the land that British claimed ownership.

It was a fun and informative video. However, I think you overlooked something very important. The reason why China attaches great importance to the Kashmir region is that Pakistan has a central role in the Belt and Road initiative and other Chinese attempts at increasing their geopolitical influence in the region and beyond. India gaining ground in Kashmir, either at the detriment of China or Pakistan presents a grave danger to Chinese geopolitical ambitions. Likewise, it is a geopolitically extremely important region for India as well. India suffers greatly that it is only a hair away from the rich mineral markets of the Central Asian republics, who would be reliable, affordable, and willing suppliers of India with energy. This is why over the past decade or two the two countries set on a collision course.

[@PoliticswithPaint]

Indeed, that's definitely an aspect which is important to this issue. However, I wanted to avoid talking about Pakistan or the Belt and Road Initiative, firstly because it would make the video much longer and more complicated, and secondly because I eventually want to make a video on the India-Pakistan conflict and the Belt and Road Initiative each :' )

one important part of Kashmir that the so called Ladakh state which is a part of India today used to be a subject kingdom which belong to China And British forced China signed contract to give it up....the boundary claimed by China is the legal boundary between China and British India colony. In history British invaded China several times, they forced China signed contract to give up the ownership of land to the India colony, As long as China signed the contract China accept it(in 19 century China twice gave up land,s to India colony). But in 20th century British just military occupied some new land which China never sign contract to give them up, India should not regard them as a part of India. Besides some these land British even did not occupied just claimed ownership one side. India already occupied a lot of China,s land which in law aspect still belong to China, while they want to occupied all the land that British claimed ownership.

[@xwqi]

The same controversial issue can also explain the territorial issues between China and Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, etc. the dispute between China and Japan over Diaoyu Islands, originally an island under the jurisdiction of China (Taiwan), was used by the United States as a target for shooting training during World War II. Taiwan was governed by the Republic of China at that time. They and the United States were allies and acquiesced to the jurisdiction of the United States. When Japan surrendered, the U.S. troops withdrew from the area and handed over the Diaoyu Islands to Japan. This also caused tension between China and Japan because of the Diaoyu Islands. In addition, Japan's nearest area to China (Diaoyu Islands) was originally an independent kingdom (Ryukyu Kingdom). Ryukyu was originally a subsidiary of China. When Japan colonized Ryukyu, Ryukyu also had a history Ask the Qing government to send troops to support. At that time, the Qing government itself was at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Ryukyu did not belong to China, so the Chinese never mentioned taking back Ryukyu, because it was not Chinese at all. However, the Diaoyu Islands were different. It was Chinese territory at first. Even if there was a war, China would not give up

Tibet had long been subject to Beijing in the Yuan Dynasty. Tibetan areas in the Ming and Qing dynasties were also under the jurisdiction of the Beijing government. After India became a British colony in the 19th century, it began to gradually and continuously promote the colonial expansion centered on India to the north, including controlling the traditional Tibetan settlement Ladakh in the northwest (currently an Indian-controlled area on the western border of China and India). A "Johnson line" was drawn, and Aksai Chin was included in Kashmir controlled by British India. In the middle section, the British army occupied Tibet's Yadong Fortress (the area north of the Sino-Indian middle section border) to the north. At the beginning of the 20th century, the British colonists intensified the northward movement. Later, with Indian officials, they drew the "McMahon Line" north of the traditional Sino-Indian border in northeastern India, and included about 90,000 square kilometers of southern Tibet into British India. After India became independent in 1947, it believed that it had inherited the legacy of the British Empire in India. The Chinese-controlled areas west of the "Johnson Line" and south of the "McMahon Line" belonged to India. But it does not discuss Britain, the former ruler of India, and the Qing Empire, the predecessor of China. From the observations after the founding of India and China, the actual control lines have been changed many times in the middle and western sections in recent years. The following is an example of southern Tibet. In 1947, the Union of India was established. In 1948, India sent troops into southern Tibet. In 1949, the People's Republic of China was established. In 1950, the Republic of India was established. In February 1951, Indian troops occupied Tawang area. In May 1951, China peacefully recovered Tibet. In 1953, the Indian army expanded northward and acquired about 90,000 square kilometers of territory south of the "Mc Line", and crossed the "Mc Line" in a few places. In 1960, the Indian Army completely controlled the south of the "Mc Line". In June 1962, India crossed the "Wheat Line" and entered the Chadong area in the south of Tibet. In November 1962, the Chinese army occupied most of southern Tibet, including Tawang, Bundila, Mechuka and Varong.and Retreat back. In 1964, the Indian army reoccupied the area and confronted the Chinese army near the "Mc Line". In 1972, India changed the Northeast Frontier Special Zone to the Arunachal Central Territory. In 1987, India announced the establishment of Arunachal Pradesh. There is one more thing here. Wang Qi is a veteran of the Sino-Indian border war. On New Year’s Day in 1963, he lost his way and broke into India on the border and asked for help from the Indian Red Cross ambulance. It lasted for seven years until the court ordered his release in 1969. Since then, they have been applying to the Indian government to return to China, but most of them ignored them. In 2012, Wang Qi sought help from the Chinese Embassy in India for identification and asked to apply for a Chinese passport. In May 2013, when the embassy issued Wang Qi a 10-year Chinese passport, India still did not provide an exit permit. It was not until February 11, 2017 that he returned to his hometown.

[@Nicholas_Smith945]

Facts: China has 14 neighbor countries on land, and it has solved territorial disputes with all the neighbors except India and Bhutan which is controlled by India. When PRC negotiates with those neighbors, it respects the treaties in history and even gives up more land to its neighbors for friendship, for example giving half Changbai mountains to North Korea, giving Bạch Long Vĩ Island to Vietnam, giving Jingxinpo and several other places to Myanmar, giving Wakhan Corridor to Afghanistan, giving up several places occupied by Russia but belonged to China according to historic bilateral treaties. When China begun to negotiate with India, the greedy Nehru government refused the negotiation and ordered the Indian armies to march foward and take more land from China, which triggered the war between India and China. China won the war but still retreated back for friendship, released the POWs and even returned the captured weapons. However in the following years, India keeps making trouble at the borders and China keeps self-constraint and gives limited counterattack only. More land has been invaded by India since 1962.
