Chinese Border Region Claims

The above are some of the newspapers headlines related to tension building between INDIA and CHINA. These are a result of rise in

(a) Chinese claims of Indian Border Regions

(b) Incursions of Chinese soldiers on Indian border

Some believe that the incursions are a result of Border issues both the countries have not been able to solve since more than 40 years resulting in lack of proper demarcation. In the recent years there have been 13 rounds of talks regarding border, which have yielded no results. Though New Delhi have downplayed the incursion citing demarcations reasons and Beijing has declined direct comment.

Indian media and some military seniors reported rise in Chinese incursions. Indian Military protested the incursions and responded by reopening airbase near china border and landing a Military plane on a forward, remote high altitude air field demonstrating its ability to move its soldiers on the frontline.

However according to Experts and Think Tanks believe China’s aggression on Indian border is direct result of “Beijing’s nervousness over India’s rise.”

This was also seen when Beijing tried to scuttle India’s Civil Nuclear Deal, at the Nuclear Supplier’s Group Meeting indicating that china is not completely comfortable with India’s rise on the world stage. Analysts and experts believe that china is catching up to the idea that it has a competitor in Asia, coming in its way of becoming a world power. So all the incidents happening on the border including Ladakh are directly resulting from Chinese desire to be a dominant power of this region. China has also beefed up its military infrastructure closed to Indian borders.

An Indian Analyst recently announced in the press that china might attack india by 2012. All the recent developments indicate the China is increasingly nervous about india’s rise and doing deliberately everything it can, from scuttling Nuclear Deal, coming in the way of international financial organizations loan grants for Indian border state developments. India’s has to deal with china prudently to eliminate threats and continue to rise on the world’s economic stage.
