During this, he said, 'We know that all infiltration is happening from the Chinese side. Till 1959 there was no border between India and China. It was with Tibet, we are signatories to the Simla Agreement of 1914 between British India and Tibet and we stand very firmly on the McMahon Line as the legitimate boundary.'

The People's Liberation Army of China brutally crushed the Tibetan rebellion. However, communist China invaded Tibet in 1950. However, the Dalai Lama's government continued to operate with its military in an arrangement with Beijing, which designated Tibet as an autonomous region. 

China's aggression is without any provocation

The border dispute with India came to the fore when the Chinese opposed the McMahon Line through statements after the Dalai Lama fled with his followers. Penpa said, 'China's aggression is without any provocation from the Indian side. India stands firm on its position, sends a very strong message to China.

China has disputes with many Asian countries

Sikyong said, 'China only respects power. China has disputes with many Asian countries and is not ready to settle them. When it comes to US-China relations, the Chinese complain that they are not treated equally. But, when it comes to other countries in Asia, they never treat them equally.'
