ZYXW The best I can say of Nixon is that his actions led to a pretty good movie "Frost-Nixon".
Oh oh! You've got a bit of it wrong- China isn't militarizing Askai Chin, in fact it isn't militarizing as much as it is making massive infrastructural improvements in the TAR region. They've also rapidly modernized the Highlands division facing us in the far north east- Arunachal Pradesh. The alarm bells went off because this allows them to mobilize effectively in case of war or aggression. Other then that the no. of troops on their side of the border has always been the secondary concern. India's only objection with China with regard to Kashmir was the presence of PLA engineers (6000 or so) in Gilgit and Baltistan.
