INDIAAND CHINA
RELATIONS
AFTER INDEPENDENCE
Jawaharlal Nehru - vision of "resurgent Asia" on friendship
between the two largest states of Asia
his vision of an internationalist foreign policy governed by the
ethics of the Panchsheel, which he initially believed was shared
by China, came to grief when it became clear that the two
countries had a conflict of interest in Tibet, which had
traditionally served as a geographical and political buffer zone,
and where India believed it had inherited special privileges
from the British Raj.
PANCHSILAAGREEMENT
In April 1954 , India and the PRC signed an eight-year
agreement on Tibet that set forth the basis of their
relationship
⯈ mutual respect for each other's territorial integrity and
sovereignty.
⯈ Mutual non-aggression.
⯈ Mutual non-interference in each other's internal affairs.
⯈ Equality and cooperation for mutual benefit.
⯈ Peaceful co-existence
1962 WAR
1962 Border disputes resulted in a short border war between
the PRC and India in 20 October 1962.
⯈The border clash resulted in a crushing defeat of India as the
PRC pushed the Indian forces to within 48 km of the Assam
plains in the northeast and occupied strategic points in Ladakh,
until the PRC declared a unilateral cease- fire on 21 November
and withdrew 20 kilometers behind its contended line of
control.
1960-1970
India and the PRC renewed efforts to improve relations after
Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's Congress party lost the 1977
elections to Morarji Desai's Janata Party.
⯈ The new Desai government sought to improve long-strained
relations with India and the PRC. In 1978, the Indian Minister of
External Affairs Atal Bihari Vajpayee made a landmark visit to
Beijing, and both nations officially re-established diplomatic relations
in 1979.
⯈ The PRC modified its pro-Pakistan stand on Kashmir and appeared
willing to remain silent on India's absorption of Sikkim and its special
advisory relationship with Bhutan.
1980-1990
In 1984, squads of soldiers began actively patrolling the Sumdorong Chu Valley
in ArunachaIndian l Pradesh (formerly NEFA), which is north of the McMahon Line as
drawn on the Simla Treaty map but south of the ridge which Indian claims is meant to
delineate the McMahon Line. The Sumdorong Chu valley "seemed to lie to the north of the
McMahon line; but is south of the highest ridge in the area, and the McMahon line is meant
to follow the highest points“
⯈ according to the Indian claims, whilst the Chinese did not recognise the
McMahon Line as legitimate and were not prepared to accept an Indian claim line even
further north than that. The Indian team left the area before the winter.
⯈ In the winter of 1986, the Chinese deployed their troops to the Sumdorong Chu before
the Indian team could arrive in the summer and built a Helipad at Wandung.Surprised by
the Chinese occupation, India's then Chief of Army Staff,General K.Sundarji, airlifted a
brigade to the region
A warming trend in relations was facilitated by Rajiv Gandhi's
visit to China in December 1988. The two sides issued a joint
communiqué that stressed the need to restore friendly relations on
the basis of the Panch Shila and noted the importance of the first
visit by an Indian prime minister to China since Nehru's 1954
visit.
As the mid-1990s approached, slow but steady improvement in
relations with China was visible. Top-level dialogue continued
with the December 1991 visit of PRC premier Li Peng to India
and the May 1992 visit to China of Indian president R.
Venkataraman. Six rounds of talks of the Indian-Chinese Joint
Working Group on the Border Issue were held between December
Prime Minister Narasimha Rao and Premier Li Peng signed the
border agreement and three other agreements, primarily dealing
with cross- border trade, and on increased cooperation on
environmental issued (e.g. Pollution, Animal extinction, Global
Warming, etc.) and in radio and television broadcasting during the
former's visit to Beijing in September.
2000-2010
With Indian President K. R. Narayanan's visit to China, 2000
marked a gradual re-engagement of Indian and Chinese diplomacy.
In a major embarrassment for China, the 17th Karmapa, Urgyen
Trinley Dorje, who was proclaimed by China, made a dramatic
escape from Tibet to the Rumtek Monastery in Sikkim.
UN REASON DISPUTE
In November 2006, China and India had a verbal spat over claim
of the north- east Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. India claimed
that China was occupying 38,000 square kilometres of its territory
in Kashmir, while China claimed the whole of Arunachal Pradesh
as its own.
⯈ In May 2007, China denied the application for visa from an
Indian Administrative Service officer in Arunachal Pradesh.
According to China, since Arunachal Pradesh is a territory of
China, he would not need a visa to visit his own country.[46] Later
in December 2007, China appeared to have reversed its policy by
granting a visa to Marpe Sora, an Arunachal born professor in
⯈ In January 2008, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
visited China and met with President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen
Jiabao and had bilateral discussions related to trade, commerce,
defence, military, and various other issues.
In October 2009, Asian Development Bank formally
acknowledging Arunachal Pradesh as part of India, approved a
loan to India for a development project there. Earlier China had
exercised pressure on the bank to cease the loan, however India
succeeded in securing the loan with the help of the United States
and Japan. China expressed displeasure at ADB
