Without Demarcation Of Indo Tibetan Border There Will Be No Business With China
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the India-China boundary is yet to be demarcated due to which there will always be problems and the two countries should implement the consensuses between their leadership to not let differences from escalating into conflicts.
So knowing that non demarcation of Indo Tibetan Border has been causing all the problems since last 60 years, why Chinese have not negotiated this and got it done. Why they have deliberately allowed it to fester ?
India is now very determined that there will be no business as usual with a Country that has attacked and killed our soldiers. Govt of India has taken a considered decision to decouple economically from China, no matter what it costs. India has already started this in a phased manner. Also there will be no Social, cultural or educational interactions between the two countries.
To go back to normal once again, the first condition to be met is the physical demar ation of Indo Tibetan Border both on ground and on map.
Since Wang has also said that China is ready to manage all issues through dialogue with India, then he should press the Politburo to get moving on the final negotiation and demarcation of Indo Tibetan Boundary.
Wang, who is currently on a tour of Europe, made the remarks during an interaction at the French Institute of International Relations in Paris on Monday. In response to a question on China’s relations with India and Japan, the minister did not directly refer to the latest provocative move by the Chinese military in eastern Ladakh.
His remarks came hours after the Indian Army said it has thwarted a provocative Chinese army movement in eastern Ladakh to “unilaterally” change the status quo on the southern bank of Pangong lake. It is also the first major incident in the area after the Galwan Valley clashes on June 15 in which 20 Indian Army personnel were killed.
“The boundary between China and India has not yet been demarcated, so there will always be problems of this kind. We are ready to manage all kinds of issues through dialogue with the Indian side”, he said.t the same time, these issues should be placed in their proper place in bilateral relations, he said, adding that President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi met many times and reached many important consensus.
No Shri Wang ji, now for trade and commerce and cultural exchanges, first you have to settle the Indo Tibetan Boundary. Otherwise, we can keep talking but decoupling will be completed.
“For example, instead of “the dragon and the elephant compete with each other”, “the dragon and the elephant dance together”, “1 plus 1 is not 2, but 11″ and so on. These are all philosophical views,” he said. For example, the leaders of the two countries agreed that bilateral cooperation outweighs differences and common interests outweigh conflicts. Differences should be managed and controlled, and in particular, differences should not escalate into conflicts. I think that various departments of the two countries should implement these important consensuses,” Wang said.
All very fine but this dance will start only after physical demarcation of the boundary.
India and China have held several rounds of military and diplomatic talks in the last two-and-half months but no significant headway has been made for a resolution to the border row in eastern Ladakh.
Both China and India are great eastern countries with long civilisations, he said adding that the two countries live close to each other and are highly complementary to each other.
China is ready to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with India to help India speed up its own development, he said.
China and India are also major developing countries and emerging economies. “We should jointly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries on the international stage and create a broader space for the development of emerging economies,” he said.
“If both China and India can develop, it will be 2.7 billion people moving towards modernisation, a spectacle never before seen in the course of human progress. I hope India can see and deal with problems from this perspective,” he said.
Wang Ji, we are in full agreement with you and your great country but please get cracking on the border demarcation fastest.
About China-Japan ties, Wang said this year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, and is a year of reflection.
“We should draw lessons from it and never allow the tragedy of history to repeat itself. And I think that’s what more and more people in Japan are seeing. I believe China-Japan relations will continue to move forward in the general direction of improvement,” the foreign minister said.
