The boundary question between China and India is a complex sensitive question left over from history. It concerns the sentiment of our peoples, and requires dialogue and consultation to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution.
In recent years, China and India have maintained regular communication on boundary questions through mechanisms such as the Special Representatives (SR) and the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China Border Affairs (WMCC). Currently, the border situation is generally stable and peaceful.
The two countries should put the boundary question at an appropriate position in bilateral relations, not allow the boundary question to define the overall China-India relations, still less let specific differences affect bilateral cooperation.
@magnusbrunner Every time a Chinese tourist is denied a visa, the European tourism industry loses a high-spending visitor. While the EES has thwarted 800 threats, it has also blocked tens of thousands of potential spenders. Security and openness should not be mutually exclusive.
