chola ruled till Cambodia.Myanmar,Malaysia,Vietnam belonged to chola dynasty ,so according to your logic India should get back this three countries.Genghis khan was one time controlling most Asia and Europe .So does it mean we all should merge with Mongolia.Please stop this crap and hand over occupied Kashmir to India
I find this very educative.

China is but only a part of Mongolia if we go by the Chinese logic!

But then the Chinese logic is unique!

Lets be more Specific..

British borders up to the Indus River watershed while leaving the Tarim River watershed in Chinese control, and Chinese control of this tract would present a further obstacle to Russian advance in Central Asia. The British presented this line to the Chinese in a Note by Sir Claude MacDonald. The Chinese did not respond to the Note, and the British took that as Chinese acquiescence. This line, known as the Macartney-MacDonald line, is approximately the same as the current Line of Actual Control..
It was not signed, it was Chinese fault, Chinese did not responded, raise no objections now when the land transferred to India, Why is the whining ?

India got the bus on time which China missed, One cannot change the past..

The article gives no "signed agreement" that implies Indian ownership of Aksai Chin.

The land wasn't transferred to India. It was transferred to the British Raj. India doesn't get all the territory of the Raj, or else how does Pakistan exist?

Also

At this point the British had still made no attempts to establish outposts or control over the Aksai Chin, nor was the issue ever discussed with the governments of China or Tibet, and the boundary remained undemarcated at India's independence.[7][8]
When India got independent, the boundary was undemarcated. China decided to mark the border at the Macdonald line, which, remember, was still a valid line at that point in time as Britain never formally repudiated it.

If India has a problem with the line, instead of whining to China, maybe it should whine to the country who wrote it, Britain.

I did read it. I also read this--it's a bit more pertinent and specific.

Aksai Chin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From the link you provided:

Chinese terrain model
In June 2006, satellite imagery on the Google Earth service revealed a 1:500[16] scale terrain model [1] of eastern Aksai Chin and adjacent Tibet, built near the town of Huangyangtan, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) southwest of Yinchuan, the capital of the autonomous region of Ningxia in China.[17] A visual side-by-side comparison shows a very detailed duplication of Aksai Chin in the camp.[18] The 900 m × 700 m (3,000 ft × 2,300 ft)[citation needed] model was surrounded by a substantial facility, with rows of red-roofed buildings, scores of olive-colored trucks and a large compound with elevated lookout posts and a large communications tower. Such terrain models are known to be used in military training and simulation, although usually on a much smaller scale.

Local authorities in Ningxia point out that their model of Aksai Chin is part of a tank training ground, built in 1998 or 1999.[16]
What do you think is the implication of the terrain model?

The answer would be known to all who understand international law.

The magic word is 'Legatee'

How did Pakistan happen?

The Indian Independence Act of the British Parliament.

Macdonald?

You seem to be a devotee of the burgers.

China decided to mark it after the War not before, before China never accepted the line itself ..

The strangeness of the issue may be silly is one accepted the line then the same saying it does not approves..

Which results confused birds & herds crossing the line and we have to show there way back..

China decided to mark the border at the Macdonald line,

It is called implied consent, which means consent through actions.

This doesn't make sense either. The more countries that are actively growing, the more markets there are for China to profit from. China does not want to rule over other nations; China wants to make money off them. Dealing with China becomes much easier when that point is understood.
That is a valid scenario for nations that don't share boundaries with China and don't pose any potential competition to it.
India is a different game for China, not just another African colony to trade with & juice resources from. Hence the mutual threat perception.

That's not necessarily the case. Look at Russia--easily a potential competitor for Chinese influence, yet China is perfectly happy existing in peace with Russia and even sharing military exercises with it--all because China and Russia have found ways to make money off each other and give each other what they need without hurting each other's national interest. There's no reason why China and India can't do the same.

Russia does military exercises with China so does India. Nothing different in that aspect!

I don't think because in 1962 our PM was Nehru who has no guts & had no proper direction on his foreign & military policy. One more important factor politically biased Krishna menon was defence minister, both never wanted Armed force to become influential in india due to fear of coup . On the other hand Mao was agressive in his policy he is the founding father of mordern Communist China

Our PM even didn't dare to use IAF in 1962 fearing retaliation from PLAAF , Now suituation is different China plays more of mind games with neighbours , eg: flying transport aircraft on disputed territory , issuing staple visa & threating to attack .

China might not attack , but if they get influensed by their ally Pak & plan some misadventure like Operation gilberto or Kargil one never knows India should be prepared for that then:mad::taunt:

Move more squadron of Sukhois , Get the MMRCA inducted soon to be deployed in North east , 145 155MM BAE howitzer & Mountain strike division soon just to be at safer side

But keep all Mig-29 & few squadron of Sukhois in west because one can never predict our nuisance neighbour in western border they will find this as opportunity & sneak in :mad::mad::taunt:

India must have to prepare for a two pronged war simultaniously with Pakistan & China...

I do not think China has the guts to attack India... simply because the military strength of India has multiplied several times in last 50 years... Chineese army lack the experience of war... moreover China is not confident against anyone when the china does not have overwhelming mumerical superiority of 5 :1 ...

China will continue to niggle India here and there and will retreat when ever it gets a slap back in its face...

China is unable to contain its so called ego after new find wealth in recent years... China suddenly believes it has achieved a super power status but the third world thinking is still there with China...
