Good job China! keep going !
The entire issue in the eastern sector between China and India stems from the British's illegal claim to the entire South Tibet through the notorious McMahon Line, a claim that India never obtained before the British, nor could it achieve independently. Now, India is attempting to retain what it could not obtain on its own, but only inherited illegally from its former colonial master.
South Tibet was never claimed by the British; the McMahon Line was merely proposed by the British in 1914 as a negotiation tactic with the Chinese government. However, no Chinese government ever agreed to it. This is why Tawang, which should be on the west side of the McMahon Line according to maps, remained under the control of the Tibetan local government throughout the British Raj period, rather than being controlled by the British Raj. Tawang was only occupied on February 14, 1951, not by the British, but by Nehru's dispatched army. The PLA reached Lhasa in October 1952.
"Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu today announced that his government will set up a memorial for Major Bob Khathing, an Army officer who commanded a small team of soldiers to establish India's administrative control in Tawang, which borders China, in 1951."

In reality, the only significant obstacle for China concerning India is South Tibet (Zangnan). While Indians may perceive additional obstacles, we are not concerned about those perceptions. It would be in the best interest of both countries to peacefully return South Tibet to China. Otherwise, we will reclaim it by alternative means. Afterward, you may continue to harbor animosity towards China, boycott our products, engage in border skirmishes, or propagate daily falsehoods about China. However, we remain indifferent to these actions. We will pursue our path, and you may pursue yours, even though it may lead to nowhere, with no hope or future, as history has demonstrated.
