In This thread China's claims will be disproved.
Claim 1) Chinese did not accept 1914 Simla Agreement which defined MacMohan Line
In reality China had no right over it. Chinese because of their constant delay had lost the right. Britain and Tibet attached a note denying China's right to have point in meeting. So whether China accepts MacMohan Line or not, point is they have no right to judge is.
So what we learn is China has no right to even denounce MacMohan Line.
Claim 2) Arunachal Pradesh was South Tibet
In reality Arunachal Pradesh was separate Tribal area. In late 1800s and in early 1900s British sent expeditions like as Morshead and Bailey Exploration and Mishmi Exploration Survey. Theobserving British found Tibetan authorities did not exert and control over Arunachal Pradesh. Instead they found Arunachal was inhabited by Monpa, Abor, Mishmi, Miri such tribes who were non-Tibetan. This non-Tibetan tribes were neither ethnic Tibetan nor they spoke Tibetan . Therefore during placing the map in Simla Convention they placed only those ares below MacMohan Line which were inhabited by tribal people. In Western Arunachal Tibetan authority was not popular, in Eastern Arunachal where Mishmi people live, they actually fled Tibet to escape tax.
More ever when Captain Lightfoot came, he after coming to Assam said Sherkdukpen and Monpa areas were willing to come under British authority and they were terrifed by Lhasa rule. Sherkdukpens called Dzongpens or Tibetan officials Zakpas or "The Plunderers".

So what we learn is China has no right to even denounce MacMohan Line.
