Indo-China Border & LAC

Mail-SPL-468-X60-2x
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India said on Wednesday that it rejects China's move to rename places in the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh where the Asian neighbours share a border, adding that the Himalayan territory was an integral part of India.

Beijing has renamed places in Arunachal Pradesh in the past as well and the issue has been an irritant in ties between the two countries, especially as they deteriorated sharply after a deadly military clash elsewhere on their border in 2020.

They reached an agreement in October to step back from their four-year military stand-off in the western Himalayas, leading to disengagement of troops.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told a media briefing that Beijing had "standardised some place names in (Arunachal Pradesh), which is entirely within China's sovereignty" - repeating what has been Beijing's standard response.

 
If we really have the balls, we have numerous levers to pull on the PRC - recognize Taiwan as a separate country, trash the one China policy, create noise on Uighurs and support Uighur govt in exile, provide govt in exile for Baloch endangering CPEC, raise some noise on Tibet, have Dalai Lama make some speeches on PRC oppression!

Reason for china agreeing to de-escalate

Economic Motivations: Both nations recognized mutual economic benefits, with China aiming to maintain trade advantages and India seeking to address trade imbalances, prompting a tactical de-escalation to stabilize relations ahead of the BRICS summit.Strategic

Chinese Domestic Pressures: China faced domestic economic challenges and uncertainties from global events like the U.S. election, encouraging a cooperative stance to avoid additional regional tensions.

Diplomatic Necessity: High-level talks between Modi and Xi, and sustained military-diplomatic negotiations since 2020, necessitated a patrolling rights deal to reduce tensions in Depsang and Demchok, reflecting a need to prevent a complete rupture in relations.

Regional Stability: China’s interest in maintaining a stable South Asian environment, avoiding an openly hostile India, and focusing on its primary strategic theater (Pacific) influenced its agreement to de-escalate.

International Image: Beijing sought to project a responsible international image, moving away from aggressive “wolf warrior” diplomacy, which supported the de-escalation agreement as a diplomatic gesture, however this was due to setbacks from so called wolf warrior diplomacy
