First time I've ever give a like to a CCP poster
I think you havent grasped Modi yet He has Invited Tibet PM in exile today he increased few more border posts in Arunachal.
i think Modi is practical about the CCP and is unlikely to give Dalai much coverage ..Modi is interested in the economic development of India - and rightly so - he will have to show substantial economic development for the people to remain for a a second term ! - and that's a game the CCP should love as they play it well
most possibility is this is new version of hindi chini bhai bhai. May be hindi -chini bhai bhai part 2 ? Though their can be implication cause of the positive approach of chinese government and chinese media about narendra modi
hindi-chini bb will cause nausea among Indian folks
Pragmatically, there's simply no enough incentive for either side to resolve the border permanently.
INDIA: With de facto control over S. Tibet and Sikkim, it's therefore unwilling to let go of what it snatched while give-and-take usually underlies negotiations. Modi may be eager to deliver commitments to voters on basics like "electricity" and "toilets". However, supposedly there're alternative investors such as Japanese or Koreans. Frictions with China to a certain degree keeps India sexy as an ideal "counter balance" to China in the eyes of the West.
CHINA: Excessive capital can always find outlets for investment in such as neighboring pro-business Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal with cheap labor in abundance. India is well kept at bay by the string of pearls . For energy security C. Asia and Russia is the Pipeline-stan without hassles of going through choke points like Hormuz or Malacca.
So why the fuss abt "settling the border dispute"??
Excessive nationalism makes fools of us all.
Personally, I have no problem of giving up our claim on south Tibet! But the question is whether India is willing to settle the dispute based on current LOC?
From my experience in this forum, I don't think so.
Don't take this forum opinion as common Indians opinion as you will find ultra nationalist type of Indian here.
The main area that i would like to be discussed is aksai chin.
Aksai Chin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I would be comfortable to settle the area whereby PRC controls land upto and near the sinkiang - Tibet road and the rest returned to pre 1962 times. Since prc want access to west from Tibet. In return I would like india to be given access and control of mount kailash and nearby areas. India needs access to mount kailash like PRC needs access to its west.
The above would be stretching many principles of international relations and legal principles. Is it possible who knows but we have seen what Pakistan did with PRC in Kashmir. Why cannot PRC and india exchange land for permanent solution to that areas.
1> Arunachal was always been with India, will stay with India. South Tibet in itself is a misnomer as geographically Arunachal is in the south of Himalayas where as Tibet is in the north. Geographically, Arunachal is not a part of the Tibetan plateau.
2> Aksai Chin is a land occupied by military force. PRC can keep the part with the road with some buffer, give up the rest. (Zhou Enlai's offer to Nehru, based on MacMohan line)
And then we can be good neighbors ever after.
Folks...China and India need to start trusting each other....a small piece of land is not greater than love between 1.3 billion Chinese and 1.25 billion Indians..
Piece of land becomes irrelevant when their is trust and love in hearts of people....I hope ..some selfish and greedy power does not succeed in dividing and creating rift between these two great ancient civilizations. I wish China and India a lot of goodwill and unbreakable bond of trust and friendship.
When Chinese and Indian people have more and more people to people contact ..they will start liking and understanding each other and then, border disputes will become irrelevant.
The issue is that giving the mountains in Aksai Chin to India means the Indian Army can overlook that road. China won't let that happen.
The answer is that the so called 'Chinese Dream' is an imperialist and hegemonic fudge.
Western China and South China was never Han territory till Sinicisation was forcibly done.
Han area was North of the Hwang Ho and Yangtse Kiang.
Yes, McCartney MacDonald Line, my bad.
But am talking about the offer to Neheru by Zhou Enlai.
I will ignore the last line as
Psychological projection
Don't think India would settle for anything less than the white line for final settlement:
Folks - CCP is bringing this up mainly becaisue they have a whole plethora of border problems in the SCS area
and the USA has recently drawn a line in the sand and communicated that fact during the meeting in the
Shangrila hotel between CCP and USA representatives. The last thing they would need is for India to time
an action when China has problems in the SCS area and such Indian action would receive world support.
China wants India to concentrate on economic development and not on strategic issues and so the Modi
government with its (apt and necessary ) focus on the economic development of the nation is
a godsend for them
My take is that as in the past - there is going to be a lot of talk but on the ground - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
other than some perhaps small cosmetic changes will ever take place
( Salman Khurshed's pimples might be removed ? )
The best formula would be to go according to Zhou Enlai's offer to Nehru ( which our great leader
should have accepted way back and saved thousands of lives - on BOTH sides )
It would be a win win solution for both sides
.
why ? - it will allow CCP to save face which is even more important for them - they can say
"we told you" to the whole world - and further add that "the skirmish was totally India's fault"
and look great in the eyes of history - as the leaders of the Chinese nation which has historically
been always right and proper in its dealings with the other nations -
the most mature nation on the face of the earth !
It is also a solution from China and so it is not following any dictate from a foreigner
For India - it is nothing great - it would be merely "something better than nothing"
But will it happen - that is the proof of the pudding
I say NO - nothing will happen - China will propose some measures that India will find difficult to accept and so the blame game will continue with NO change on the ground
It is a stalling tactic in China's favour to keep calm on the western front
while they take the next few decades to solve the SCS region - which
is of paramount importance to them because of the mineral resources therein .
If to my surprise China does implement the Zhou Enlai solution - India should respond
appropriately and positively - not Bhai-b but appropriately positively !
It's now up to China.
