Chinese position :
The study of Chinese position can be done under following points:
In earlier times, relations between India and China were very cordial. India supported Chinese communist revolution of 1949, and giving Chine a political recognition. It also helped China get membership in UNO.
In 1950, When China occupied Tibet, India accepted China’s ,’ sovereignty on Tibet. It was India’s biggest mistake in her foreign policy with China. Nepal is considered a buffer state between India and China and Tibet had similar political utility. Troubled with China’s behaviour, Dalai Lama with his followers took shelter in India.
During British rule, border was certified between India and China. Although China gave recognition to it but never accepted it with heart. To solve border dispute many talks were held but obstacles remained. In 1962, with the excuse of border dispute, China suddenly attacked India and surprised all.
- China’s expansionist policy :
China had already occupied a large part of Indian territory of more them 50 thousand square km and posted its army there. China also occupied Aksai Chin. It is continuously following on its expansionist policy pushing India from all sides and Pakistan is supporting it. Now Russia is also trying to join the political nexus of Pakistan and China.
In 1954, Panchsheel agreement was signed but China always neglected it. Although in tense situations, the intention to improve the relations was,stated. Each year, summit talks were arranged. Besides, on international issues, both countries are adopting same attitude. But the political manipulations which are being done by China, cannot be overlooked.
