2. Central Sector: It is the less disputed section of the Indo-China border,

but the recent Doklam standoff and Nathu La Pass trading issues have
brought distress at all levels.

3. Eastern Sector or Arunachal Pradesh: The McMahon Line had

differentiated India and China in this sector but in the 1962 war, the

People’s Liberation Army covered 9,000 sq. km. area. The
announcement of a unilateral ceasefire made them step back on the

international borderline. However, China has been claiming that area as

their own and recently they have started to claim all of Arunachal
Pradesh as their own.

Border conflicts after the India-China War of 1962

Aksai Chin in Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh in the

Northeast are the reasons for the war and after a one-month-long war,

China succeeded in gaining control over Aksai Chin.

In 1967, there were two major occasions of conflict at Cho La and

Nathu La Pass. All these occasions were in favour of India as they
stopped and sent back the Chinese army.

Agreements and initiatives to resolve the border

disputes

Shimla Agreement 1914: The McMahon Line was established and was
accepted by Tibet and British Indian authorities. Chinese authorities

have been against this from 1914 till today as they believe that Tibet was
not a sovereign authority with no power to conclude any treaties.
