India and China by now should establish “buffer zones” is possibly to foremost dangerous areas along the road of LAC to stop the festering border dispute from triggering an armed conflict love it happened at Galwan Valley a year ago, a retired People’s Liberation Army (PLA) officer has suggested.
“Perhaps the boldest step could be to determine buffer zones within the most dangerous areas along the LAC. Without prejudicing their respective positions on the boundary question, this is often the foremost effective thanks to disengage and stop conflict,” Bo wrote for the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post (SCMP) in a piece of writing titled “China and India should reminisce to maneuver forward on border impasse.”
“Both sides agree they shall not follow or tail patrols of the opposite side in areas where there’s no common understanding of the LAC. Building buffer zones may be a step further. And it’s possible, too,” Bo noted.
India has consistently said that the Chinese troops were the primary to trespass across the disputed boundary, triggering the faceoff and deaths of border troops on each side .
Bo added that, “Gone are the times when India said “Hindi Chini bhai bhai,” Bo noted. “But China and India have every reason to not become foes. The border issue shouldn’t be a perennial curse, its the 2 nuclear adjoining regions who can ill-afford even a standard war.”
