    RESEARCH REPORT Research Report - From Kashmir to Ladakh: the rationale behind Beijing’s border intrusions into India By Dr Siegfried O. Wolf 18 June 2020 - ISSN 2406-5633 Dr Siegfried O. Wolf, Director of Research at SADF (Coordinator: Democracy Research Programme); he was educated at the Institute of Political Science (IPW) and South Asia Institute (SAI), both Heidelberg University. Additionally, he is member (affiliated researcher) of the SAI as well as a former research fellow at IPW and Centre de Sciences Humaines (New Delhi, India). Abstract Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic in China and the attempts by the country’s leadership to whitewash the course of the spread, the world is facing an extraordinarily high degree of turbulence and an additional, multi-facetted cluster of crises. South Asia too is confronted with unusual obstacles. Arguably, the region is witnessing the most serious confrontation between India and China since their border war in 1962. Considering both the domestic factors and the international dimension, the current standoff following a multiple transgression by China into Indian territory in May 2020 is even more severe than the two-months-long Doklam crisis in 2017 (Deepak, 2017, August 5; Wolf, 2017, September 1). This SADF Research Report brings forward the following rationale: (1) It is stated that China’s action in the ongoing tensions marks a clear departure from its behaviour in earlier disputes, known as ‘salami slicing tactics’ (Sarkar, 2020, June 6). (2) It is conveyed that Beijing’s behaviour in both diplomatic and military terms match its actual positioning in other ‘hot’ conflict zones and disputes such as the one in the South China Sea.

Chinese Intrusion into Ladakh An Analysis Mandip Singh* The intrusion by the Chinese Army in the Ladakh sector of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) was first reported by the media on 15 April 2013. Initial reports indicated that about 30–40 armed soldiers of the Chinese Army had set up three to four tents in the area of Depsang Bulge, south east of Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO). Subsequently, media reports indicated that the Government had accepted this intrusion to be 19 km from the LAC, inside Indian territory. The Depsang Bulge is east of the River Shyok and close to DBO, an old forward airfield, recently activated as part of the infrastructure development plan of the Indian armed forces in the Ladakh sector.

  • The Wuhan Summit and the India–China Border Dispute Manoj Joshi
    JUNE 2018 The Wuhan Summit and the India–China Border Dispute Manoj Joshi Source: Press Trust of India ABSTRACT The recent Wuhan summit between India and China has been called many things: from a "game changer" to a much needed "reset" in Indian-China relations. It has generated expectations in the two countries that they will avoid any clash due to miscalculation and error. This has strengthened the tradition Observer Research Foundation (ORF) is a public policy think tank that aims to influence formulation of policies for building a strong and prosperous India. ORF pursues these goals by providing informed and productive inputs, in-depth research, and stimulating discussions. ISBN 978-81-938027-3-1 © 2018 Observer Research Foundation. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, copied, archived, retained or transmitted through print, speech or electronic media without prior written approval from ORF. The Wuhan Summit and the India-China Border Dispute that India and China have maintained since the Border Peace and Tranquility Agreement of 1993, of resolving problems bilaterally through dialogue and negotiation. While the focus of the summit was on the interaction of the leaders, little is really known of what transpired. Both sides held delegation- level talks and issued press statements empahsising their desire to handle differences peacefully through dialogue. They also underscored the importance of their ties in the regional and global context. This paper, however, argues that unless the two countries resolve their longstanding border dispute, they will not be able to make any radical transformation in their current relationship.
