Chinese have an expansionist mindset and they always grab others' land. India being a weak state, they try it frequently at our borders. In the 1962 war, they had captured Tawang, Walong and Bomdila and had come upto Tezpur in our NEFA. They grabbed Tibet, they grabbed our land in Aksai Chin gifted to them by Pakistan. Now they are claiming a part of Arunachal Pradesh as theirs. It is reported that there are thousands of atomic chinese missiles lined up on the Indo-China border.

It is not important as to what China tries to do. It is more important for the Indian Political establishment to give a proper response. That is exactly where there are serious failures.

Dude, Tawang is the Tibetian name for Arunachal Pradesh, which China claims is part of Tibet and so "naturally" a part of China. In 1962 they came in and then withdrew to original borders in Arunachal Pradesh area due to strong intervention by USA (based on an SOS from Nehru).

Yeah. At that time, our factories which were supposed to make war material, were making domestic utensils and pots at the insistance of Mr. Nehru, who always felt that we won't have to face any war ever and so weapons were not needed to us!
Actually, Gen. Kaul was related to Nehru family. He was asked by Mr. Nehru and the then defence minister V.K.Krishna Menon to create a forward post in front of every chines forward post. They named it as 'Forward Policy'. That infuriated the chinese more. We were not even well prepared before making them angry.
But our jawans faught the battle till their end. Chinese were many in numbers. Something like 1000 chinese troops attacked each of our posts where there were only 15-20 Indian troops and that too without high altitude shoes and with primitive weapons like 303 guns!

Yes. they did withdraw after the US intervention and supply of arms to India. But that shows their land grabbing nature. However, at that time, there was no Arunachal Pradesh. It was called North East Frontier Assam, i.e. NEFA. Then Tawang was a specific villege, situated in the then NEFA, India.

We as a nation can defend ourselves against the Chinese aggression only if we throw out our Communists from Power at the Centre. With Karat,Yechury as "Advisors" for this Govt. China will have an easy time, in case of the dispute becoming a war.
