[The Incredible One]

what do you mean? china occupies a small part of kashmir which is uninhabited and totally icy. i believe the chinese are considering returning this territory to india. the chinese are not a player in kashmir it is india vs pakistan.

[muawiyah]

To the degree the Chinese provided nuclear technology to Pakistan, they are very much involved in Kashmir and every other dispute between India and Pakistan.

BTW, both countries are busy building and/or acquiring aircraft carriers and submarines to counter the other.

[The Great Yazoo]

Kashmir remains the world's most highly militarized territorial dispute with portions under the de facto administration of China (Aksai Chin), India (Jammu and Kashmir), and Pakistan (Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas), but recent discussions and confidence-building measures among parties are beginning to defuse tensions; India does not recognize Pakistan's ceding lands to China in the 1965 boundary agreement; disputes with Pakistan over Indus River water sharing and the terminus of the Sir Creek Estuary at the mouth of the Rann of Kutch, which prevents maritime boundary delimitation; Pakistani maps continue to show Junagadh claim in Indian Gujarat State; most of the rugged, militarized boundary with China is in dispute, but sides have committed to begin resolution with discussions on the least disputed Middle Sector.

India has the same concerns about China as the British did about Russia when India was part of the British Empire. Those concerns led to what Kipling called "The Great Game;" essentially, the world's first Cold (and sometimes quite hot) War.
