India and China share a 3,488-km unmarked border — the Line of Actual Control (LAC) — that spans across Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, ...
On another note, the people of Arunachal Pradesh are more averse to speaking in Hindi than any of the other Northeastern states. In 1947, India gained Independence from the British, and in 1949, the People's Republic of China (PRC) was formed. China has cited historical ties between the Lhasa monastery in Tibet with the Tawang monastery to support its claim over the state. In 1914, representatives from Britain, Tibet and Republic of China tried to negotiate a treaty to settle the borders between British India and China by drawing the McMahon Line. China has claimed that the monastery serves as evidence that the district had belonged to Tibet at some point. On December 9, 2022, the Indian and Chinese armies clashed along the LAC in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh, injuring personnel from both sides.
The incident in Tawang adds to the series of military clashes along the disputed border between the two nuclear-armed nations.
The Tawang area is particularly important for both sides as having control over it provides a strategic advantage – as it is situated close to one of the Bhutan-India-China trijunctions. Some [reports](https://theprint.in/defence/arunachal-clash-over-200-pla-troops-came-with-spiked-clubs-taser-guns-indian-soldiers-hit-back/1262407/) suggest a smaller group of 50 Indian soldiers challenged the Chinese aggression. The other strategically-vital trijunction between the three countries is near Doklam – where the Indian Army had in 2017, on behalf of Bhutan, engaged in a months-long stand-off against Chinese forces to stop the latter from encroaching upon disputed territory.

More recently, in 2020-’21, India and China were locked in a series of skirmishes along the Line of Actual Control. [Wang Wenbin](https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-says-situation-stable-border-with-india-after-clashes-2022-12-13/) on Tuesday said the situation at the disputed border was “generally stable”. On Sunday, Indian commanders had held a flag meeting with their Chinese counterparts to discuss the clash in line with existing protocols. China is using “salami-slicing” tactics against India amid the long-standing border dispute, experts suggest. In January 2021, a minor face-off had happened between the two sides at Naku La in Sikkim. Another short face-off had happened near Yangtse in October 2021, when opposing patrols had come face-to-face. India has rejected these claims. This incident in Tawang adds to the series of military clashes between the two Asian giants who were engaged in a full-fledged war in 1962.

The clash on 9 December in Tawang isn’t the first instance of Indian and Chinese troops clashing. There was another report of an intrusion in September 2021 of around 200 PLA personnel at Yangtse, east of Bum La in the Tawang sector. Defence experts state that an increased presence of China in Arunachal would help Beijing exert is influence in the area as well as negate India’s presence.

In Arunachal Pradesh, Yangtse is one of the 25 contested areas along the 3,488-km Line of Actual Control. Hence, from China’s perspective it becomes an important site in the history of Tibetan resistance to Chinese rule. If India wished to attack China, Arunachal would be the closest location for India to deploy its missiles from. Before we take a look at the strategic importance of Tawang, here’s why it is culturally significant to China. The border is fuzzy, with both sides claiming territory that is in the other’s control. Troops from India and China once again clashed in Arunachal Pradesh’s Yangtse area of Tawang on 9 December. This turned into a hand-to-hand clash as the Indian troops retaliated to thwart the Chinese aggression, Singh said, adding that while there were injuries on both sides, there are no fatalities on the Indian side.

एक रिपोर्ट दावा करती है कि साल 2017 में चीन की तरफ से भारत के सामने एक प्रस्ताव रखा गया था. 1962 के युद्ध में भारत की हार ने चीन के लिए वो रास्ता भी खोल दिया था. अब तिब्बत पर अपना कब्जा जमाने के बाद चीन को अरुणाचल प्रदेश भी अपने पाले में चाहिए था. लेकिन समय के साथ चीन ने कई मौकों पर इस समझौते का उल्लंघन किया और तिब्बत ने भी कहना शुरू कर दिया कि मजबूरियों की वजह से चीन के साथ समझौता हुआ था और तिब्बत कभी भी चीन का हिस्सा नहीं था. उस बैठक में साफ कहा गया था कि अरुणाचल का तवांग और दक्षिणी हिस्सा भारत का हिस्सा माना जाएगा. उसमें साफ कहा गया था कि तिब्बत के लोगों की अपनी अलग स्वतंत्र पहचान रहेगी, चीन कभी भी तिब्बत की राजनीतिक प्रणाली में हस्तक्षेप नहीं करेगा.

The Indian army says a small number of soldiers fought on Friday but both sides disengaged quickly.
China and India share a disputed 3,440km (2,100 mile) long de facto border - called the Line of Actual Control, or LAC - which is poorly demarcated. The presence of rivers, lakes and snowcaps means the line can shift. However both sides have been trying to de-escalate since a major battle in June 2020 in the Galwan Valley in the Ladakh region much further to the west - where 20 Indian soldiers and
