Conflict suddenly escalates! Why India-China relations hit an all-time low? The most incredible war

entering 2023 and while the relationship between the CCP and its eastern neighbors such as Japan South Korea and the Philippines is deteriorating its relationship with India its largest neighbor in the west is also under stress in May of 2023 China and India expelled each other's journalists The Wall Street Journal reported on May 30th that India and China expelled each other's journalists all but cutting off Media contact between the two sides India refused to renew visas for the last two Chinese State media journalists in the country this June the two are from xinhua news agency and CCTV respectively they have left India after their visas expired there were no Chinese journalists in India now possibly for the first time since at least the 1980s some people familiar with the matter said at the beginning of this year India had four journalists stationed in China China also rejected the press pass of Indian journalists stationed in China in a liberal journalists from some of India's largest newspapers the privately operated the Hindu and the state-run brasar bahati were barred from returning after traveling outside China while a reporter from the Hindustan times was told that his press pass had been revoked in May accreditation of foreign journalists has grown in importance as a geopolitical issue in recent years as governments increasingly view journalists as an extension of their foreign policy the move by China and India to freeze each other's foreign correspondence is a sign of a rapidly deteriorating relationship this reduces communication and visibility between the two nuclear-armed neighbors regarding the expelling of journalists a Chinese Diplomat responded faced with India's long-term unjustifiable suppression China has no choice but to take appropriate countermeasures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese media however I would like to emphasize that China is still willing to maintain communication with India based on the principles of mutual respect he quality and mutual benefit relations between the two countries have taken a sharp turn for the worse since June 2020 when deadly clashes broke out along the disputed china-india border Indian foreign minister s Jai Shankar has repeatedly stated that relations between the two countries cannot return to normal until peace is achieved on the common Border in addition India has also expelled Chinese mobile applications India has banned dozens of Chinese mobile apps including tiktok WeChat and other Global hits from China effectively locking them out of the fast-growing Indian market in another recent event China said that it's opposed to a G20 tourism meeting from May 22nd to 24th in the disputed territory of Kashmir in India and will not attend India which holds the chair of the G20 this year has organized a series of meetings across the country in the run-up to The Summit in New Delhi in September Chinese foreign Ministry spokesperson Wong when Ben said China firmly opposed to holding any kind of G20 meetings in disputed territory and will not attend such meetings now let us review the starting point that led to the deterioration of the relationship between China and India the issue of territorial disputes and discuss whether a war between China and India will break out in 2019 India split the Muslim majority state of Jammu and Kashmir to greet the two Federal territories of Jammu and Kashmir in the dock a large chunk of ladakh is under Chinese control ties between New Delhi and Beijing have been strained since a military clash in the dock in 2020 in which 24 soldiers were killed Srinagar the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir will host a meeting of the tourism working group for G20 members on May 22nd to 24th Kashmir is claimed in full but ruled in part by nuclear armed neighbors India and China Ally Pakistan which has also opposed India's decision to hold the G20 meeting in Kashmir India has countered the objection saying it is free to hold meetings on its own territory it's at peace and Tranquility on its border is essential for normal ties with China this is not the first time China and India have gone head to head in the past two or three years there have been many armed conflicts between China and India when did the conflict between the two countries begin it was the sino-indian war of 1962. as for this territorial War one possibility was to negotiate first but China launched a sudden large-scale War what is the reason for this border disputes between China and India have a long history the disputed border shared by China and India is about 3 400 kilometers long and is neither defined on maps nor marked on an inaccessible mountainous and glacial terrain the disputed law is divided into East Middle West and Sikkim sectors we want to clarify here that the maps of China and India are different we just use some maps with obvious marketing and it does not mean which side of the border is recognized in 1914 the local government of Tibet and the British colonial government in India signed the Simla convention which delineated the McMahon line and assigned the southern Tibet area with an area of about 90 000 square kilometers to British India however the successive government of the Republic of China which has now retreated to Taiwan has refused to recognize the similar convention China believes that the disputed territory of the middle sector is about 2100 square kilometers all of which are mainly occupied by India now the Western sector includes the oxygen region controlled by China which is about 40 000 square kilometers in the Kashmir ladakh region controlled by India which is about 59 000 square kilometers the two regions are connected after India gained independence in 1947 it began to cease disputed areas along the border in 1954 the Indian government comprehensively revised the official map and continued to encroach on the disputed areas in the Eastern Middle and Western sectors of the sino-indian border crossing the McMahon line and advancing northward sino-indian border conflicts were on the rise in 1962 China experienced the great Chinese famine the Great Leap Forward in the people's commune which can be said to be the biggest disasters in Chinese history when tens of millions of people died a part of the top CCP bureaucracy therefore held Mao Zedong the party leader at the time accountable therefore Mao Zedong needed to regain the party's Prestige and control fighting Wars was a way to establish Prestige and consolidate power in the Army so we looked at the sino-indian border that is to say for a CCP leader he could solve his own personal needs restore Prestige and establish the image of a global Leader by the sino-indian border so Mao asked the commander of the Tibet military region to fight the battle under the sudden attack from China China the Indian army was undoubtedly defeated the two sectors of Chinese territory occupied by the Indian army in the east and west were basically transferred to the control under the CCP Army among these territories the southern Tibet area in the Eastern sector is very rich it has a mild climate abundant rainfall and Lush forests the environment and area are similar to those of jejung Province and is known as the south of Tibet the axachin area in the West Was An uninhabited area at the time in the sino-indian War in 1962 the Chinese side won and this can be said to be the beginning of all disputes and conflicts between the People's Republic of China and India however it was a very strange war after gaining the victory the CCP carried out massive propaganda various newspapers and radio broadcasts spread the news all over the country and related documentaries were screened all over the country as well but then something unexpected happened on nov November 21st 1962 the CCP unilaterally announced a ceasefire across the board took the initiative to retreat and returned all the weapons and equipment seized to the Indian army in the Eastern sector the CCP withdrew its troops to the line of actual control in 1959 which is 20 kilometers north of the McMahon line and abandoned Southern Tibet in the western sector the CCP Army also retreated 20 kilometers from the actual control line in 1959 retaining only dozens of high-altitude strongholds in the oxide chin area on the Western Front near the xinjiang Tibet Highway the central government's decision made the CCP officers who participated in the war feel very sad as soon as the CCP Army left the Indian army recovered lost ground to reoccupy the disputed Southern Tibet India reoccupied Southern Tibet calling this area the Northeast Frontier agency in 1972 India changed the Northeast from Frontier agency to the union territory of our nachal Pradesh in 1986 the Indian Parliament passed legislation to upgrade the territory to a state in 1987 India officially announced the establishment of arunachal Pradesh arunachal Pradesh has 83 743 square kilometers an area larger than two taiwans this is a piece of history in the past that is to say after winning in the battlefield the fundamental purpose of Mao Zedong the leader of the Communist Party of China at the time to consolidate his power was achieved so we withdrew the troops casually for the CCP National sovereignty and territory are the means of power struggle not the goal stabilizing power comes first in giving up territory is also acceptable entering June 2020 the Chinese and Indian armies clashed and the galwan valley at a point on the eastern border China and India disagreed on the extent of the conflict Chinese officials said five people were killed and eleven injured Indian media reported that the number of casualties in China was as many as 43. if that was true it meant that the conflict was more serious before June 2020 there were confrontations and conflicts between China and India in the disputed area however a conflict of this magnitude has resulted in the death of soldiers in such serious consequences it has not been seen for a long time so the outside world is paying attention and is also worried whether it will trigger Another War On the sino-indian Border in response to the ccp's military threat India's defense budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year has increased significantly by 12.9 percent and 1.62 trillion Indian rupees or about 19.87 billion US Dollars have been set aside for the purchase of new weapons and equipment according to defense news in the U.S India announced on February 1st that the total expenditure for the new fiscal year was 40 5.03 trillion Indian rupees of which 5.93 trillion was used in the defense field the figure represents an increase of 6837.1 billion rupees or 12.9 percent over the defense budget for the fiscal year 2022-23 to meet current and future challenges the Indian authorities have increased the military maintenance budget by 44 to 900 billion rupees which will be used to stockpile fuel ammunition and critical spare parts and other capabilities the report said this will address the sustainment of weapon systems platforms including ships and aircraft and their Logistics the ministry of Defense added according to the Indian Express an Indian official said as tensions with China have increased the Defense Forces deployed On the Border have increased they have conducted extensive training and a large number of flights therefore spending on fuel transportation and Logistics has increased as has the need for additional ammunition and spare parts not only does the current Indian government believe that the CCP is encroaching on India's inherent territory but even the opposition leader also believed so what is your reaction to prime minister modi's statement that not an inch of land has been lost to the border with China and can you talk about India's relationship with China and how it's changing I mean the fact of the matter is China is occupying our territory it's an accepted fact I think 1500 square kilometers land the size of Delhi is occupied by them and I think you know it's absolutely unacceptable prime minister seems to believe otherwise I don't know I don't know I mean maybe maybe he knows something we don't know the most recent sino-indian conflict was laid last year it cost the Indian people to become Furious and burn Chinese products this year India was a guest at the G7 which was held in May from the 19th to 21st one of the topics of the meeting was to discuss how to deal with the huge challenges posed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and tensions with China especially in Taiwan and the economic security aspect the Chinese government has been promoting its own institutional advantages inside and it has also relied on its own population advantages to attract foreign investment and belittle other countries however the population advantage that China has always been proud of was also surpassed by India not long ago India is projected to overtake China as the world's most populous country during the current month April of 2023 China's population reached its peak size of 1.4 million in 2022 and has begun to decline projections indicate that the size of the Chinese population could drop below 1 billion before the end of the century in India by contrast the population is expected to continue growing for several decades the main driver of these Trends is the fertility level in the two populations in 2022 China had one of the world's lowest fertility rates which was 1.2 births per woman on average over a lifetime India's current fertility rate which is at 2.0 births per woman is just below the replacement threshold of 2.1 which is the level required for population stabilization in the long run in the absence of migration the frequency of conflict between China and India is increasing looking back at 1962 history seems to be repeating itself for the current CCP leader the CCP has encountered a high degree of isolation internationally the domestic economy is in recession and the society is unstable all these have caused dissatisfaction and secret rivalry among the CCP and political opponents for the authority of the party leader the current party leader may also appear to need a war to consolidate power so will the CCP look for Outlets On the sino-indian Border as before or is it possible that because of an accident the views of the war was ignited China and India are two countries with ancient civilizations both China and India have suffered from foreign aggression since modern times China and India fought side by side during the second sino-japanese war the economies of China and India are complementary China and India can develop friendly relations on the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty Mutual understanding and accommodation and learning from each other's strengths however the red genes of the CCP do not recognize the universal values of Freedom democracy rule of law in human rights they believe in coercion and struggle and sometimes lack rational thinking and logic so when the CCP handles sino-indian relations it's difficult to turn hostility into friendship it is more likely that the relationship between the two countries will be pushed to a worsening track on this track with inertia nothing is impossible [Music]
