I don't know the context behind your bringing it in but the 1962 war was a joke of a war in which a somewhat strong china defeated a weak India. There are many things bigger than some border fight and if you think that's a benchmark for anything, you are wrong.Are those naunces bigger than 62's war?
Anyways, it is actually quite simple to prove. Just find the transcript of the meeting between Singh and Wen on news paper or TV. As I said before both words of "India will respect China's claim or Taiwan" and "China will support India's bidding for UNSC" might have been exchanged in the meeting, but that is just memorandum of understanding between the two governments. It is definitely not a trade agreement. I am sure that Singh will never say something like "In order for India to respect China's claim on Taiwan, China has to support India's bidding for UNSC" or vice versa. If he indeed choose not to respect China's claim on Taiwan, then it can only mean that India is ready to break off all its diplomatic ties with China. That seems too much bigger a trade for UNSC bidding, isn't it? It is just somehow the journalist of that article who doesn't know squat about diplomacy somehow twisted story, and made it sounded like a trade between the two governments. That is why it is unprofessional on so many levels by anyone's standard.
What I know is this. If TOI, the most influential publication in the subcontinent brings out the story that there was a 'trade off', I would naturally assume that there is no smoke without fire. The never claimed that they looked up the MOUs and came out with it. My experience with them...they've got all sorts of ppl in the foreign affairs misitry to give them the news.
PS- If you are making an assumption that India is very conerned about China's military prowess & therefore will give in to glorious 'one china' policy , let me remind you that this aint 1962 and your army isn't all that great just doesn't have in it the ability to take on a 1.2 m standing force. You wanna follow one china or two china policy, that's ur business, if you sit across the negotiating table, you better have a strong reason why it appeals to India's national interest.
