This guy should stick to his area of expertise - water and natural resources, etc.



His commentary on Sino-Indian boarder crisis and its LAC sound more like a political statement of BJP (opposition party in India) and doesn't reflect the fact that mainland China has retreated from the disputed territory and both sides are attempting to avoid an overt conflict.



First, PLA has its own decision-making authority on strategic boundary with India and may not reflect the opinion of CCP or its CC. Moreover, these boundaries were not historically delineated by British Imperial rule. The Young Husband mission drew the McMahan Line which was signed in Lhasa (Tibet) by Czarist Russia and British Empire.

Neither current Indian Govt nor PRC was party to McMahan Line. India has wasted a lot of time (decades!) without delimiting these boarder issues because it started originally by publishing false maps.



Second, unless both sides set up an experts commission to resolve the boarder issues - piece by piece - across the vast Himalayas, there is no way they can come to a mutual agreement of de jure demarcation lines.
