There have been several major conflicts between China and India in history.

Since the independence of 1947, India has always claimed that its border with China was drawn by the British. The position of China people is that the boundary line drawn by imperialist countries is illegal and should be renegotiated. The disputed area between the two sides is Aksai Chin Plateau in eastern Kashmir, which India insists is part of Ladakh Mountain in this area and the area along McMahon Line.

In the late 1950s, China built a highway across the Aksai Chin Plateau to the west of Tibet. It was not until 1959 that India learned of this situation and found that China's armed forces had firmly occupied the area.

Subsequently, the two sides exchanged fire in the mailroom. Due to India's underestimation of China's strength, efforts to solve the problem through negotiations failed, and India even thought that Tibet, which has been China's inherent legal territory since the Yuan Dynasty, should be separated from China.

1962, when China had just finished three years of natural disasters, the Indian government ordered the troops to cross the actual line of control between the two sides, and China protested. As the Indian army refused to withdraw to the actual line of control on the Indian side, the China army launched a counterattack. The Indian army was defeated and retreated. China declared a ceasefire and retreated several miles from the actual line of control of1959165438+1October 7.
