Why was there a territorial dispute in the Sino-Indian War?

China and India have always had territorial disputes, not only in Tibet, but also in Xinjiang, and between the East and the West, which is why border frictions and wars continue.

For example, in 195 1 year, India seized 90,000 square kilometers of Indian territory south of the McMahon line in the east of the Sino-Indian border, and then occupied part of Indian territory in the middle of the border. Proceeding from the traditional friendship and fundamental interests of the Chinese and Indian peoples, the governments of Mao Zedong and China have always maintained a restrained and tolerant attitude towards India's troubles. 1On August 25th, 959, the first armed conflict occurred in Langjiu in eastern China since the founding of New China. On June+10, 5438, India provoked the conflict of Konka Pass in the western section. In the face of India's constant troubles, Mao Zedong advocated "courtesy first, then soldiers" and "withdrawing from the three countries". Put forward a series of principles of border struggle. 1In July, 1962, the western section of the Indian army brazenly invaded the Wan Jiale Valley in Xinjiang, set up a new military position, cut off the back road of the Chinese border post, and carried out armed provocation against the China patrol, thus creating the Wan Jiale Valley incident. 101Since October 20th, Chinese border guards have been fighting back in self-defense in the eastern and western sections. In the western section, the 43 invasion strongholds set up by the Indian army in China were completely eliminated; In the eastern section, the Indian troops who invaded Kejilang and Tawang were driven away. On 24th, the government of China issued a statement proposing a peaceful settlement of the border issue, but it was rejected by the Indian government. 165438+1In mid-October, Indian troops launched a new military attack on China in the border area between China and India. 165438+1October16 to 2 1 day, the Chinese border guards successively repelled the Indian troops that invaded Xishankou, Band-Aid La, Vanon, Bangongluo and Limikin, and pushed south to the illegal McMahon line close to the traditional custom line, thus defeating those who participated in the Second World War. The entire counterattack wiped out more than 8,700 Indian troops, including more than 3,900 prisoners under Brigadier General Darvi. The battle shocked the whole country of India, and Nehru hastily declared a state of emergency.
