It's not often discussed, but the likely main goal of any boundary negotiation with India for China is to recover a fairly obscure piece of real estate called the Tawang tract. In February 1951, India (or rather the Governor of Assam) sent a small military expedition to Tawang and annexed it. British India had never ruled over Tawang and according to the source below the Government of India in Delhi had never instructed the Governor of Assam to annex it. Situated in the Tawang tract is a town and the Tawang Monastery, "one of the most holy sites for the faith of Mahayana Buddhism". While most of the rest of the entire Indian state of Arunanchal Pradesh is claimed as South Tibet, nobody seriously wants it. Occasionally, the Chinese Ambassador in Delhi might give an interview to Indian media and claim the whole thing. However, I believe Tawang and most importantly the monastery is the true goal. Similar to Indian claims over Azad Kashmir (Pakistan administered Kashmir), no one in India seriously wants to take control of the territory even if the gate was wide open. It would just be a huge headache without much benefit.

I wanted to bring up this bit of history and explanation about the likely negotiation position of China to better focus the discussion on whether any mistakes were made in 1962 in hindsight.
First after so much of time, India has increased almost total control in north eastern states, there is airforce base in Tawang & " eastern command" was created to defend/attack against China's tibbet.

Also they're still supporting tibbetian seperatist who are staying in india & they have never demolished tibbetian government in exile office.

China should understand clear intention of india, if it economy & strength keeps growing then it will do more to destabilize china and their home minister has also told that they won't give an inch even they refused to sort out kashmir or border disputes.

Indian Defense Expo with over 1,300 exhibitors which are mostly of Indian origin, and according to this news segment, most of the exhibitors are composed of young entrepreneurs, innovators keen on firmly establishing and building India's goal of IMIC. Watched the whole segment, and I must say, these folks never disappoints with their big and bold pronouncements. Hope they do well.

India is arrogant it think that whole indian ocean personally belongs to india .
China should be careful if war breaks out with USA then india might do everything to control it's indian Ocean, possibly blocking malaca straight. China should change name of Pacific Ocean to Chinese ocean then according to Indian defence minister logic it will belong to india .
