We know that India and China are economic friends but, after Doklam satndoff began in mid-June then began the tension between these two nations. Doklam is a tri junction between India, China and Bhutan. And Sikkim
section has a special historical background and this is the only defined
boundary between India and China. When India accused China of constructing a
road in the disputed territory towards Doklam Plateau, supporting Bhutan's stand
and asking China to halt its construction work China claimed Doklam as its
territory. Soon there was a stand off between these countries,sending
reinforcements at the boarder area. Due to this the pilgrimage to Kailash
Mansarovar was cancelled.
On
June 30,the People Liberation Army(PLA) spokesperson Col Wu Qian warned Army
Chief General Bipin Rawat to “stop clamoring for war” and told reporters: “we
hope that the particular person in the Indian Army could learn from historical
lessens and stop such clamoring for war”. In response to this,Union Defence
Minister Arun Jaitley hit back “if they are trying to remind us, the situation
in 1962 was different and India of 2017 is different “. A day before
the G20 summit was supposed to begin in Hamburg,Germany China dismissed the
prospected meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and PM Narendra Modi,
saying the “atmosphere is not right for bilateral meeting “. External Affairs
Minister Sushma Swaraj said the border stand off with China cannot be resolved
through war but can be settled through bilateral talks. Then Chinese Consul
General in Kolkata Ma Zhanwan,said that “shared interest “ between the two
countries “far outweigh any differences”.
Ma said “In
relationship between nations ,there are always differences. It is like
belonging to a family with many brothers and sisters. There can be differences
between siblings and even parents. If there are such differences between two
brothers, that does not mean that they cannot get along. You don’t stop dealing
with that brother with whom you can have differences, on other issues”. Everything
can be resolved if both come forward to have a healthy relationship because if
we don’t resolve it then in future there
can be greater chance of having more conflicts and possibly it can go further
more i.e. war. By shedding blood no one is going to win anything ,there will be
sorrow, disturbance and even worse. As China is showing off that they are
superior from past and now,as well. And India
is at such an active pace of developing that it can’t compete with their
superiority. If this thing continues then our government cannot concentrate on things which are far more important.
At some point both have to get along with each other, both need to resolve this issue not by war but
through rational, objective and constructive means.
