Rhetoric like 'illegal occupation', 'capitalist roader', 'running dogs', 'teaching a lesson', 我这里准备了一百å£æ£ºæ,ä¹åä¹å£ç•™ç»™è´ªå®˜ï¼Œä¸€å£ç•™ç»™è‡ªå·±ï¼" (I've prepared 100 coffins. 99 for corrupt officials and one for myself.), said by Zhu Rongji, Premier 1998–2003, "ä½ ä»¬å•Šï¼You are all too young, too simple, sometimes naive! 係唔係啊?" (A mixture of Mandarin, English and Cantonese, in that order, meaning "You... You are all too young, too simple, sometimes naive! Isn't that right?") Said by Jiang Zemin, President 1993–2003, in response to a Hong Kong reporter , "ä¸ç®¡ç™½çŒ«é»‘猫,逮ä½è€é¼ 就是好猫。" (No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.) Said by Deng Xiaoping, in reference to economic liberalization, are all learnt from the wise men of China. It is the staple of the Chinese since they never speak with a straight tongue for obvious reasons, maybe to leave leeway to backflip at a later date to suit the convenience.Rhetorics like 'illegal occupation' or 'invasion' aside, China didn't intend to stay in the captured S. Tibet (or so called Arunachal) from the very beginning of retaliation according to interviews of veterans in the Sino-Ind war, and declassified files.
Other than 'logistics' China at that time was already engaged in two-front confrontations
* blockade and embargo by the West
* schism with the USSR (in fact Khrushev's taking side with India like the US, was one of many reasons for China to break away from Eastern Bloc in 1960's)
Therefore China didn't want to be absorbed on an additional front i.e. southward with India. Zhou very frankly wrote Nehru about this fact but Nehru's aim was possibly to push forward and physically control as much as possible so that India might be in a favourable position in later border talks. The target of the war for China was to 'stablize' along the previous actual control line. Pull-back from recovered lands was in line with this strategy (for so-called 20-years of peace).
Of course GoI and Indians may continue to propagate Aksai Chin... Arunachal ... for self consumption, with thin justification such as lines penned by Brit Raj.
Back to reality just let it be until someday a better solution arises. Before that, it's better for China and India to stay 'apart'
As I explained earlier, the Chinese used an adverse situation, in the usual Machiavellian manner, to swing its way. Declassified files of which country? And who are the veterans of the Sino Indian conflict who have opined? If the Chinese were so peace loving, then why did they not quit Aksai Chin having taught India a 'lesson'? What is so special about Aksai Chin and not Arunachal as far as the Chinese claim? If indeed, they don't have any claim to Arunachal, then why the song and a dance these days over Arunachal?
What US and West embargo? It is China which did not want to open up its trade with the world. If indeed there was an embargo, would it not also affect the operations in Aksai Chin? If USSR was supporting India, then how come they did not send any military matériel? How is that the US sent arms and ammunition when they were arch enemy of the USSR?
The CCP rhetoric may have convinced the Chinese to believe that 'The target of the war for China was to 'stablize' along the previous actual control line. Pull-back from recovered lands was in line with this strategy (for so-called 20-years of peace)' . This is another humbug and typically of the Chinese rhetoric, loaded with mealy mouthed pious platitudes!! It is pathetic nonsense about all the cl-aptrap about 20 years of peace. 20 years peace for who?
It is not only that GoI who are convinced that Arunachal is Indian Territory. The Arunachalis also believe the same. They want to be Arunachalis (Adi | Apatani | Bugun | Galo | Hrusso | Jingpho | Khamba | Koro | Memba |Meyor | Mishmi (including Idu, Taroan and Kaman) | Monpa | Nyishi (including Bangru and Puroik) | Sajolang | Sartang | Sherdukpen | Tagin | Tai Khamti (including Khamyang) | Yobin | Tangshang (including Muklom, Lonchang, Tutsa,Tikhak, Hawoi, Longri, Mungrey, Mushaung, Lungphi, Joglai, Ngaimong, Ponthai, Khalak, Lungkhai, Halley, Chellim, Shechu, Shiangwal, Rera, Shiangtee, Dohe, Moitai, Hatseng, Gajee, Gaja, Kochong, Lowchang, Laki, Gallon, Chamchang, ringkhu, Shohra, Bowngtai, Ronrang of Changlang District and Nocte, Wanchoo and Tutsa of Tirap District) and NOT Hans.
All people and tribal have seen how Chinese Hanise the indigenous population and wipe out their culture, language, religion and history.
They prefer India since it allows and preserve the beauty of individuality and the holity of all peoples who make up the Republic of India.
We revel in Unity in Diversity!
