China claims 90,000 km of India

China illegally claims approximately 90,000 square kilometres of Indian territory including Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said on Wednesday.

"Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India and the government has conveyed this fact to the Chinese side," Mukherjee told the Lok Sabha in a written reply.

In reply to another query, he said China disputes the international boundary with India.

Since 1993, the two governments have agreed to maintain peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control in the India-China and border areas, without prejudice to their respective positions on the alignment of the LAC as well as on the boundary question, he said.

Mukherjee said both sides have agreed to clarify the LAC and to take up perceived violations through established mechanisms including the Joint Working Group, the Expert Group, border personnel meetings, flag meetings and diplomatic channels.

Kaladan: The Kaladan multi-modal transit transport facility providing connectivity between Indian ports on the eastern seaboard and the Sittwe port in Myanmar will be completed in five years from its date of commencement, Mukherjee said in reply to a separate question.

Work on the project will begin after the agreement and protocols are signed by India and Myanmar, he said.

The project will provide an alternate route for transport of goods to north-east India through Myanmar, Mukherjee said.

hopefully a full out war over the land takes place and each country increases its military budget resulting in greater revenue for US firms that manufacture military equipment and technology.

Also a good thing for the environment that so many people just might die as a result of this war.

we have little to do with it.

see paragraph 4F (quoted below) of the "New Framework for the US India Defense Relationship" signed in 2005:

quote:

F. in the context of our strategic relationship, expand two-way defense trade between our countries. The United States and India will work to conclude defense transactions, not solely as ends in and of themselves, but as a means to strengthen our countries' security, reinforce our strategic partnership, achieve greater interaction between our armed forces, and build greater understanding between our defense establishments;

in other words, india will start buying more US defense technology. They recently purchased a refurbished navy vessel. I believe india has a history of buying russian military technology, however, with this accord that trend is likely to fade.

There's a great deal of partnership between the US and India on nuclear technologies as well.

But overall, I think this thread is kind of old hat. India and China fought a war over this area in 1962, and I highly doubt they will again.

clearly you are correct. i never thought a war would really occur, but it would be interesting if it did.

India will duck in.. like buddhist monks in Tibet..

They all still suffer from Gandhi's philosphy/disease: If someone slaps you on face, tilt it to certain angle so that he can slap you other side too!! Voila! Thats Non-violence.
