China Can Never Coexist With India Harmoniously

Even today, China refuses to acknowledge India's sovereignty over key territories, while aggressively building infrastructure along disputed borders.

The idea of a harmonious Sino-Indian future is a diplomatic mirage—an illusion sustained by wishful thinking and strategic ambiguity.

Beneath the veneer of summits and handshakes lies a deep, historical antagonism that renders genuine coexistence nearly impossible.

China's recent efforts to exploit tensions between India and the United States are not anomalies; they are the logical extension of a long-standing strategy rooted in civilizational rivalry, territorial ambition, and ideological divergence.

The seeds of mistrust were sown long before the 1962 war, when China's annexation of Tibet in 1951 shattered the Himalayan buffer that had historically separated the two Asian giants. For India, Tibet was not merely a neighbour—it was a spiritual and strategic shield. Its fall marked the beginning of China's encroachment into India's sphere of influence, culminating in the brutal border war of 1962 and recurring skirmishes in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh.
