The lesson from the China-India military stand-off is “profound” and it should not be repeated, Beijing’s envoy to New Delhi Sun Weidong said, even as the two sides could not yet reach an agreement for the complete withdrawal of front-line troops from all the face-off points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
However, he argued that the boundary row was “not the whole story of China-India relations”.
China’s ambassador to India recently had a virtual discussion with eminent columnist Sudheendra Kulkarni, who had served as an aide to late and former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and had accompanied him on his visit to the communist country in 2003.
