According to a Baaghi TV report, China has made the demand of India, that it should restore the disputed status of Kashmir. While China and India try to resolve the issues pertaining to the high altitude region of Ladakh via military dialogue, there is a kind of series of messages going on between the civilian leadership of both countries.
If the analysis by diplomatic circles in Islamabad is to be believed, China has tied the suspension of hostilities with a commitment by India to restore the status of Kashmir that existed prior to 5th August 2019.
In August last year, the Modi government had revoked Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, that granted special status to the Jammu and Kashmir region. China at the time had responded in anger because this change had also affected the status of the Ladakh region, to which Beijing lays claim. China also took the issue to the Security Council of the United Nations.
However this is the first time that the current situation between China and India has been linked with Modi’s action of 5th August 2019.
Although there is no official word between China and India comparing the situations of Ladakh and Kashmir, a Chinese scholar working with an influential Chinese think-tank, who has participated in writing an article related to the border dispute between India and China, has pointed towards the Kashmir dispute.
Dr. Wang Shida, Deputy Director of the Institute of South Asian Studies at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR), has written that ever since August last year, India has taken unilateral actions to change the situation in Kashmir and is bent upon increasing tensions in the region.
On the Chinese side he said, India “opened up new territory on the map,” incorporating part of the areas under the local jurisdiction of Xinjiang and Tibet into its Ladakh union territory, and placed Pakistani-administered Kashmir within its so-called union territories of Jammu and Kashmir.
Dr Wang further said that this forced China into the Kashmir dispute, forced Pakistan and China to take counter-actions on the Kashmir dispute, and dramatically increased the difficulty in resolving the border dispute between China and India.
It is important to note that Spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad has published an article that caused a storm to erupt in India, and which Indian analysts declared as an unusual development.
Some in India have also pointed out that China is realistically attempting to overturn the illegal actions of Modi.
