A month after India and China held the fifteenth round of border talks, a commentary in a Chinese newspaper has questioned India's claims on Kashmir and asserted that the only dispute was over the status of Arunachal Pradesh.
An article in the Communist Party-run Jiefang Daily, or Liberation Dailynewspaper said the disputed western section of the border — including the Aksai Chin region which is now under China's control — was not part of the dispute, underscoring how far apart both countries' positions remained even after 15 rounds of negotiations.
The commentary said: “The Indian side believes that the border dispute between China and India covers not only the eastern region of 90,000 sq km but also the western region of 30,000 sq km and the western region is India's too. This wrong argument, which totally disregards the history, still has supporters in India.”

What options do they have?
Secure our borders?
Foment an insurrection in tibet?
Counter china's string of pearls with our own vice-like encirclement by befriending natural cultural allies like thailand, japan and vietnam?
Fix our economy and treble defence spending?
When you're anatomically deficient and lack a brain, spine and guts and are gifted with only a mouth, all you can do is talk.
"all you can do is talk" - you mean like all the braggadocio talk that you and other posters do here :)
