Put behind 'unfortunate' 1962 war, China to India - The Times of India

The Chinese side was "unusually warm" during
the third round of talks and wanted a formal
border management agreement along the more
than 4,000-km-long Line of Actual Control (LAC).



NEW DELHI: China wants India to
put behind the 1962 war as an
"unfortunate" thing of the past
and that the two countries
should strengthen their military
ties including formalising a border management pact under
which their troops will not fire at
each other. The Chinese assessment was
conveyed to the Indian defence
ministry team which visited
Beijing on January 14 and 15 for
the third round of the annual
defence dialogue between the two countries. During the meeting with the Indian team led by defence secretary Shashikant
Sharma, the Chinese side asked India to forget the
1962 war as an "unfortunate" thing of the past
and said it looked forward towards better
relations between the two countries, highly-
placed defence sources said here today. India suffered a humiliating defeat in the 1962 war. The Chinese side was "unusually warm" during
the third round of talks and wanted a formal
border management agreement along the more
than 4,000-km-long Line of Actual Control (LAC). The Chinese side, the sources said, is expected to
soon send proposals in this regard which would
also suggest the two sides to agree on their
troops not firing at each other under any
circumstances. Beijing also wants to formalise a mechanism
under which there will be no night patrolling by
the troops from both sides and if they cross each
others' path, they will not follow each other,
sources said. However, Beijing continued to be in denial mode
when the Indian side raised the issue of presence
of Chinese troops in ****************** Kashmir
(***). India maintains that Chinese troops are found to
be in significant numbers in *** around the
Chinese construction projects in that region. The Chinese side did not raise any "negative"
issue like they have done in the past when they
questioned the statements by services chiefs on
China and the media coverage, they said. The Indian delegation also met the vice chairman
of the Central Military Commission, who is even
above the Chinese defence minister.

We should forget it asap. There is no point in keep remembering those war times. China has emerged and India is emerging. Even with disputes China and India are keeping up and working on CBM. Pakistan learn something.

If China lets go of AP where it has no real claims and we can arrive on some sort of conclusion on Aksai Chin there is no reason for India and China to be hostile to each other. Rather the cultural linkages can be used to forge strong bond of co-operation between the two asian giants.

south Tibet is too big a piece of land,I don't think Chinese government will risk being overthrown by the people by accepting loss of that land,so it simply won't happen.flaring nationalism will swallow the government up.so the best Chinese government can offer is to split South Tibet half and half I guess.

Its the actions that matter not words.

To forget the past one needs actions in the present that lead the way to the future.

Mere hand shakes are not enough.

You have a point - seen from the Chinese perspective.

Govts of the day need the courage to take decisions.

From the Indian perspective the start point can only be reconciliation to what each nation has or does not have. Changes on the ground are not an option.

as always, the Indian's solution to everything is "give us everything we want and there will be no problems"
Indians need to get out of such childish mentalities and come to the real world of adults where things are talked over and compromises are made for the sake of peace and prosperity.
