Indian military and the fake Aksai Chin (our southern Tibet region) leaders recently made statements on the border issue

The Deccan Herald and The Hindu reported on February 15 that the Indian military and the fake Aksai Chin (our southern Tibet region) leaders have recently made statements on the border issue.

Indian Defense Chief Anil Chauhan stated that the origin of the Sino-Indian border dispute can be traced back to the 1954 signing of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, which designated six mountain passes as channels for trade and pilgrimage. India believes this arrangement has the implication of confirming the boundary, while China emphasizes that the nature of the agreement is mainly limited to trade matters.

Anil Chauhan said that due to the increasing strategic importance of the Himalayan border, the Indian government needs to formulate a comprehensive, long-term strategy and address issues such as climate change, water security, border management, military modernization, and disaster management, viewing the issue from an overall perspective of the Himalayan region.

The "Chief Minister" of the fake Aksai Chin (our southern Tibet region), KT Parnaik, stated that the region is a strategic buffer zone with huge human, cultural, and economic potential. In terms of economy, the fake Aksai Chin (our southern Tibet region) occupies an important strategic position in advancing India's eastward policy, promoting connectivity and trade between India and Southeast Asia.

Regarding the border issue, since China is implementing a long-term strategy along the India-China border, using means such as border infrastructure, dual-use settlements, and renaming to influence public opinion along the Line of Actual Control, the Indian government must mobilize the entire nation to advance the security, development, diplomacy, and regional empowerment of this region to ensure deterrence, stability, and sustained control over sensitive borders in the northeastern states.

In addition, Parnaik also mentioned the border issues between India and Myanmar and Bhutan, pointing out that insurgent groups use the Free Movement Regime (FMR) to carry out operations, endangering the safety of this region. India is re-examining relevant measures, balancing the maintenance of traditional cross-border links with the safeguarding of national security. South Asian Super Talk
