We also know what agreements were made, which China has always violated.

Mao said so, take the palm and five fingers
According to defense analyst Lieutenant Colonel (Retd) JS Sodhi, relations between India and China have been good for centuries. In 1949, when the civil war in China ended and China emerged as a new nation, a part of Taiwan separated from it. After this, India-China relations started turning sour. This sourness came because in 1949, Mao Zedong, the founding leader of the Republic of China, had said that the palm and 5 fingers should be captured by China. The palm meant Tibet and the 5 fingers meant Ladakh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Nepal and Bhutan. From here, China's policy towards its neighbors kept changing.

China ready for war after Dalai Lama takes refuge
JS Sodhi explains that after Mao's nefarious intentions became apparent, China illegally occupied Tibet in 1950. Relations between India and China deteriorated further when the Dalai Lama fled Tibet and took refuge in India in 1959. These relations deteriorated so much that in 1962, China deceitfully attacked India and there was a war between the two countries.
Why did China get the sixth Dalai Lama killed on the way…Why did India get angry in the name of Arunachal peak?
Do you know about the India-China war of 1967?
The Nathula and Chola conflict took place in 1967, also known as the India–China War of 1967 or the India–China War of 1967. This conflict was a series of border clashes between China and India along the border of Sikkim in the Himalayan region. , The Nathula conflict began on 11 September 1967, when China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) attacked Indian positions in Nathula, and the conflict continued until 15 September 1967. Another military duel took place at Chola in October 1967, which ended on the same day.
India had driven out Chinese soldiers
It is believed that at that time India gained a decisive strategic advantage and managed to hold its own against the Chinese forces and push them back. Several PLA forts were destroyed in Nathula. There the Indian soldiers drove back the attacking Chinese army. 340 Chinese soldiers were killed in Nathula. At the same time, 88 Indian soldiers lost their lives in Chola. When the Chinese army attacked with machine guns, the Indian soldiers responded with artillery.
What was the agreement that Jaishankar hinted at?
According to JS Sodhi's book China's War Clouds: The Great Chinese Checkmate, the Border Peace and Tranquility Agreement, 1993, was signed between India and China in 1993, which stipulated that troops from both countries would patrol the border and Before patrolling a- Will inform others about this. Peace remained between both sides till 2017. But, everything changed in 2017. At that time China increased its military activities in Doklam area. Due to this aggressive action, China made a huge movement of its troops. This action was directed by China's Theater Command.
Being directed by China's Army Theater Command
China created several new theater commands in 2015. According to the theater command, Chinese forces started aggressive action on the borders. He created areas of dispute in many new places. In 2020, he sent his army to Galwan Valley, in which there was a lot of clash with Indian soldiers. From then till today relations between India and China have never been normal.
Are India and China heading towards another war?
According to JS Sodhi, on February 5, 2024, America's government agency Directorate of National Intelligence has said that the way tensions are increasing between India and China, they are gradually moving towards war.
China's strategy to attack India in 2035
According to the book China's War Clouds: The Great Chinese Checkmate by China's official newspaper Wien Weipo published from Hong Kong, there will be three wars in the next 11 years i.e. till 2035. The first of these wars is to take place with Taiwan in 2027. .At that time China will attack Taiwan. The second attack will take place in 2029 on the Spratly Islands located in the South China Sea, which is surrounded by Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia. This island is considered very strategically important. Apart from this, China and Pakistan will together attack India in 2035. This is going to be a war on two fronts, under which China will fight on the Arunachal Pradesh border and Pakistan will fight in Jammu and Kashmir.
China also has its eyes on Shaksgam Valley, it has already claimed this
Defense and strategic affairs analyst Lieutenant Colonel (retd) JS Sodhi says that Dragon is now adopting a dual strategy through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Firstly, it is strengthening itself economically and secondly, it is preparing to tighten the noose on countries like India. In a way he is preparing himself for future war. China wants to reach Central Asia through Shaksgam Valley through Pakistan's Gwadar port and Afghanistan. He has also claimed this valley.
Is Pakistan afraid of India's 'Aqua Bomb'? Why was China in Nehru's mind during the Indus Water Agreement?
Aksai Chin was not on the map of China till 100 years ago
Suzan R Chinoy, author of 'The Forgotten Fact of China Occupied Kashmir', writes that China started establishing its presence in the Karakoram area from the 1750s. At that time, Qian Long was the fourth king of the Qing Empire in China. China then claimed that the eastern part of the Karakoram Pass passing through the Kunlun Range adjacent to the Pamir Plateau had been incorporated by the Manchau Empire as early as 1759. The historical map of China of that time showed only the lower part of Yarkand and the rivers originating from Shaksgam. Before 1890, China made no claims to the Shaksgam Valley, nor was Aksai Chin shown as part of Xinjiang province.
Chinese PM wrote a letter to Nehru and claimed this area
With the signing of the Karakoram Tract Agreement with Pakistan on March 02, 1963, China occupied Raskam and also started claiming the Shaksgam area. On January 23, 1959, Chinese Prime Minister Zhou Enlai spoke about his claim to the frontier region of Jammu and Kashmir in a letter to then Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. In 1953, the Chinese army started infiltrating from Eastern Hunza area.
Jinping's CPEC project is a big dream
One of the reasons behind the continuous attacks by Pakistan-backed terrorists in Jammu instead of the valley is China's economic corridor which is passing through PoJK. China has already invested US$65 billion in the CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) project. The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor is an ambitious plan of Chinese President Xi Jinping, launched in 2013. India has been opposing the project as PoJK is an integral part of India.
