India-China military drills to ease tensions, analysts say

[Vikrant]

BEIJING: Joint defence exercises being planned by the Indian and Chinese militaries later this year would send a positive signal to ease recent border tensions and build trust between them following recurring troop incursions, analysts here said today.

The "Hand-in-Hand" drills, though not on a large scale, send a positive signal because they help ease border tensions between the two neighbours along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), while strengthening mutual trust, state-run China Daily today quoted strategic analysts from the official think tanks here as saying.

It still will not stop China's assertion to claim several islands in the South China Sea.
The Philippines are inviting the US to base troops and naval support there even though their constitution forbids it.

Well there you go.

I didn't know that China and India had a common border.
It's a sad day when we don't learn something new.

India and China share an over 2,000-mile barren, icy and rugged border

Luckily, Australia doesn't have a border with Asia...especially 200m + population in Indonesia, 1.3billion in China, and about the same in India.
Imagine trying to police and defend it.

^ India does not have border with China. India has borders with Tibbet and Xinjiang. Both are under occupation of China. That leads China to the doorsteps of India.
