Exploring the India China Relationship

/analyses/2010/exploring-the-india-china-relationship

China and India have interacted with one another for thousands of years, especially in the areas of trade and religion. For centuries, however, the scope of their interaction was limited by the barrier of the Himalayan Mountains. When each country established a new government—India in 1947 and China in 1949—the relationship began to shift, and the two countries established formal diplomatic relations in 1950. The same year, China invaded Tibet, thus eliminating the geographic buffer between China and India. The China-India relationship was further altered in 1962, when Indian troops moved to assert Indian territorial rights along the disputed Himalayan border with China. In response, China launched a counter-offensive and pushed the Indian troops back from the border. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) moved into India’s northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and part of Kashmir, killing 3,000 Indian troops. Since this clash, China and India have maintained the world’s longest unresolved border dispute.
