India China relation

   India China relation at its lowest point

India and China both are ancient civilizations. They both have common trade interests since ancient times. Now a days these two Asian giants are under conflict at their common border. It is necessary to understand their mutual relationship journey till now. When they trade it amounts to nearly 80 billion dollars. And this trade value is increasing day by day. Despite this there are frequent stand offs between these two countries. Let us try to understand reasons lying behind this conflict.

 Reasons leading to the present scenario 

Primary reason behind it is ‘No proper demarcation of border between these two countries’. They have developed proper mechanism (Like hotline and some agreements that guide them during stand offs) to deal with border issues. Recently the standoff that began in May continuing till today converted into violent attacks on each other on 15^th June 2020. This is after 45 years that two countries’ army involved in violent confrontations that resulted in 20 Indian army personnel death, at least 80 injured and 10 were captured by PLA (Chinese army). Later on they were released but this incident will leave its trail on Indo-China relationship. It has lessened faith on each other. Last time such violent confrontation took place in 1975 leaving huge loss of lives and assets for both sides. The question is how this happened despite talks at military and diplomatic levels were going on. Both are alleging each other for breach of mutual understandings.
