If China maintains the status quo, that is fine by my standards. However, if China does not attack within a decade it will never have a chance of getting Arunachal Pradesh. By 2020 India will be too powerful militarily for China to do anything.South Tibet belongs to China, or at least it is disputed land. It is not Indian territory unless China acknowledged that. I believe we have enough threads on that topic in this forum, thumb through some of them before posting.
By maintaining a status quo, i mean China will not initiate to change the current situation of India's illegal occupation of South Tibet and China will not stop claiming sovereignty over South Tibet. So the status quo i was refering to is India's illegal occupation of ST and China's claiming ST, both will not be changed by China in a short term.
Furthermore if China decides to maintain the status quo it will show the world that they do not have peaceful intentions, but irredentist ones. If China cared about having friendly relations with India they would attempt to resolve the border despute and rescind such absurd territory claims like the one over AP. Even though China's occupation of Tibet proper is illegal, India still recognized it as part of the PRC for the sake of friendly relations.
