2/China's ambassador to India recently stated, that (China doesn't want to do this bcs) it would make things More Difficult, meaning that defining the grey areas btwn diff perceptions of LAC would make border more difficult to solve(ie Creeping acquisition ruled out thereafter)
3/ The outlines of a border settlement are in the India-China agreement of 2005. In 2006 #China suddenly started backtracking from it and has got more and more aggressive since. #India is willing to settle the border on the basis of principles outlined in the 2005 agreement.
4/ccp #PLA This increasing aggressiveness culminated in a massive military build up on border in early 2020, followed by an effort to military change the LAC (May aggression). Theses steps were in clear violation of the 1993, 1996 & subsequent border management agreements.
5/ccp (ref 3/ccp )Process of defining LAC stalled at the Border talks, after the exchange of maps of the middle sector!
