At the height of the Cold War, China's ally India would turn from friend to foe as the issue of Tibetan independence rips the Asian brotherhood apart.

Chinese guy appears to be saying, "Yes, yes, you just stay over there. This side is for us, that side is for you."
It is a bit biased when you completely ignore the part where the US was training Tibetan separatists in Colorado in the 50s. Also, you forget to mention the PRC and Tibet had already signed the 17 point plans in May 1951. The McMahon Line cannot be considered valid when it was not negotiated with the government of that country.
typical Western Imperial power "we decide your future without you present at the negotiating table"
So long story short China outplayed India in the game of war

India and the USSR vs Pakistan and China is one of the most underrated parts of the cold war.
U.S. sided with Pakistan
It was India and USSR vs Pakistan, China, UK and USA.
@@itr8247 No. This is just not true. China's role in the Cold War is best understood if you see them as a third geopolitical pole. At times, they aligned more with the USSR. At times, they aligned more with the USA. But at no time were they true allies of either. The US-Pakistan alliance is also not what it appears at first. It was an alliance of convenience because the US needed some kind of position in South Asia to cc counterbalance Soviet interests in pushing south (which they ultimately did in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan). India would have been a more natural ally but opted for official nonalignment in the Cold War. China did, however, side with Pakistan because of their mutual problems with India. The Soviets, meanwhile, quietly and indirectly supported India, even though India claimed to be nonaligned.
我们中国人只是觉得这是一场边境冲突而已，因为没打几天，对方就散架了。
Indians and Pakistanis are of the same people, separated by religions. now tell me about tolerance and peace.
The trigger of the Sino-Indian war was that the border line drawn by the British (I suspect the Anglo-Saxons deliberately drew it wrong) moved part of the Chinese territory to the Indian side. Of course the Indians accept this good thing, but can the Chinese accept it? ? Why should a British person decide the border between China and India? The war happened and the British got their wish

It really was a cold war at the heights of those mountains
China is a CONTRIVED world power, but I will tell you HOW that was all initiated. As it turned out, in the late 1940’s when future Secretary of State, General George Marshall, acting upon the direction of the corporate globalist Deep State completely disarmed nationalist leader Chiang Kai Chek and his forces, knowing full well that Joseph Stalin, using all the military hardware and logistics support given to him by the U.S. during WWII, that he no longer needed, would ship all that war material/support on over to Mao in Northern China, where Mao quickly overran the forces of Chiang Kai Chek, establishing a Communist dictatorship in China. Approximately 24 years later President Nixon opened the door to China in 1972, setting the stage for the next corporate globalist/Deep State move when just a few years later George H.W. Bush was appointed ambassador the China and spent much of his time as such establishing a set of arrangements/agreements with Chinese leadership whereby Western private central banking and multinationals corporate interests would then begin the process of transferring investment capital from the U.S. and countries of Western Europe to China to avail themselves of the cheap Chinese labor market. Furthermore, in some cases the Chinese have actually been allowed to steal Western technology, or were flat-out given it by the Clintons. The corporate globalist and Deep State would not only make enormous returns on investment, but would turn China from a backward agrarian nation to an industrial powerhouse in the matter of just a few decades, while hurdling it toward becoming the dominant military-industrial force on the planet for the 21st century, as the U.S. and Western Europe were both slated to transition into being post-industrial 3rd world cesspools, where only the elites could afford relative affluence and comfy lifestyles, at which point those Western nations would then be funneled into a new corporate globalist world order, led by an authoritarian China where world governance would then be facilitated by means of elitist bureaucrats appointed by the private central banks and mega corporations that headquartered their world power within the territories of China, whose mandate would include the use of its resources to carry out the dictates of world governance. P.S. Oh yeah, communism is great...just look at how the people of Hong Kong can't wait to adhere themselves to the CCP, ha!!

A big part of history was missing here--Tibet officially became a part of China during 18th Century when Manchu (Qing Dynasty 1644-1911) rulers finally secured their solid control over the land, the relationship lasted till late 19th Century and early 20th Century when the British sought to expand its power from India to Tibet, they sent out several military expedition into Tibet which in the end forced Tibet to sever its tie with the Qing Dynasty government. Since then till 1949, for almost 40 years, as China slipped deeper into civil war and then suffered from Japanese invasion which lasted 8 years and then followed with another three years of civil war... no government was able to reach Tibet until 1949.
不知道你从哪里学来的历史，晚清和中华民国都对西藏有行政管辖权，都有派驻官员在拉萨，但是不管理西藏具体事务，西藏奴隶制度一直保留到1950年代，直到共产党带来全面改革。英国对西藏的控制只是局部的，英军与藏军进行了几次战斗后，英国势力进入西藏，并产生了一定影响而已
The British messed up the whole world! 😂
Tibetans are originally a branch of the Han people. Tibetans and Han people have the same relationship as Ukrainians and Russians. Tibetans and Chinese both belong to the Sino-Tibetan language family. We separated five thousand years ago. Tibet was officially merged into China in the 12th Century, it has been a part of China for 800 years. Taking a step back, which one of the Tibetans looks like an Indian and which one looks like an Englishman? How can Tibet become a part of India? Are you not blushing because of the Sino-Indian war?
@@wshawn6817 我所描述和你所讲完全一致，你可能没有认真读完我所写的内容。英国在清末数次染指西藏，最终迫使西藏与满清朝廷做出切割，民国建立后重新建立对西藏的控制，但因内外交困，始终无法做到彻底的有效控制，直至1959年新中国平定叛乱之后。

13:55 This footage onward is the same as the one used briefly on a documentary on the Sino-Japanese War, in the late thirties. I'm guessing it belongs in the '50s-'60s, i.e., here.
Even today, if a member of the Chinese Government said good morning to me, I'd need to look to see what time it was.
Let’s say 1:30 pm
Dude, literally ! China imposes that the whole country use one time, whereas everyone else use time zones. So in the Western half of the territory, they have to act like they are the Eastern times, and seems it's a 2hours gap

@@RookhKshatriya Certainly don't believe what Chinese politicians say.
Unfortunately the west doesn't seem to understand this concept. They somehow kept on thinking that the PLA or the communist Chinese can somehow change and be trusted. Well until recently but that's quite late. One has to treat enemies as enemies. There's no in between.
Great documentary but I wish to hear the voices on the Indian side as well. On another video about the Sino-Soviet split, I was hoping to see some Russian perspectives as well.
tell it to BBC.
I think it's because there were so few Indian troops actually fought in this war, I think the Chinese troops out-numbered the Indians by 4:1. Of those who fought, most of them became POWs and they would rather not talk about it, so it was very difficult to find Indian veterans to do the interviews. They did interview Indian foreign policy analysts, e.g. @40:43, so it was not a completely one-sided story.
There is a book
True, a lot of the Indian side debates have been totally ignored while the Zhou EnLai - Mao internal party debates were commented on. General Thorat's warnings about the Chinese build up and how they could be countered, the ignoring of these warnings by Krishna Menon who liked to lecture western leaders but failed to heed the signs, why the then more powerful Indian Air Force was not even used when they could've devastated the PLA troops. None of this has been discussed or shown.
I think Mao was a warmonger and since his passing, China has not gone to war with other countries and for over 40 years China has lived peacefully with its neighbours. I am glad China and Russia are good friends now and I hope one day India and China too can become good friends.

@@bhanukiran5630 BS India followed the forward policy believing you could just keep building posts behind China's LOC and we would retreat. Hilarious.
it's quite simple really, back then China didn't have good road access to the disputed area so it's difficult to resupply the soldiers therefore it's indefensible. Tibetans are markedly different than Indians that's not in dispute.
China could not afford a sustained war with India. It was a poor country as well. This war was really a tragedy that could have been avoided.
The war did cause sino-Russian split that persists to this day and has caused current day India to join the US, Japan, Australia alliance that is a major headache to Xi Jinping. All in all I think the fall out from this war wasn't good for either countries!

Seeing this for the first time now…I have mutual respect for those Soldiers in terms of how they felt. You go into battle as your country says. You win. And then the politicians who were safely in their beds 🛌 every night “lose the war”. I can understand their feelings in terms of wanting to keep taking action… Interesting 🧐 how yet another incident that is seemingly “lost save for the history books” reflects the adage of “If you fail to earn your history, you will be doomed to repeat it” or words to that effect…
Biggest takeaway from this point is *till this day Sino - Indian border issues still have not resolved* thanks Mao for your weird strategy giving up land even after it been taken and *resulted in Sino - Russia split*
US meddling is not mentioned. " The CIA Tibetan program was a nearly two decades long anti-Chinese covert operation focused on Tibet which consisted of "political action, propaganda, paramilitary and intelligence operations" based on U.S. government arrangements made with brothers of the 14th Dalai Lama, who was not initially aware of them. "

@Ghost Apophis Free Seattle!
Way more dramatic and violent than that. "Reform" in context of China in 50s means the grand land reform, which was to seize all lands from traditional landlords and distributed to peasants. In this process, any landlord who dare to resist were subject to lynching. CCP did the same in Tibet, and the land owners started a riot. A large portion of land was owned by the temples, who then accused the land reform destructed Tibetan tradition and social structure. This is why Dalai Lama said the riot was to preserve Tibetan tradition (which was a caesaropapism serfdom) while the CCP said it was previous slave owners fighting for their privileges). Both of them were actually right.

what strikes me about mao's behaviour is how little china has changed. chinas attitude is pretty much the same in 2021 as in 1961, which is frightening.
What attitude, protecting it's sovereignty and territorial integrity? What's wrong with that? China even offered twice a resolution on settling the border disputes by giving 1part of the territory to India, but no, India wants it all!
Because he has revived in Xi Jinping
@@brendakayyy @Frog in a well I'm sorry but saying that I'll take this part for the other is not a sound practice...it like asking to choose between children...and both sides were protecting their soverinigty.....and if they could make compromises on one then why not cut your losses and make aksai chin the only dispute... It shows that their claim is not legitimate... and And this attitude of aggressive expansion overriding soverinigty of other nations....it's not even a debate...

Cleverly wise is a tautology. Its like saying "buttery butter".
Past comment from other youtuber: "Before the British came along, the Indians lived on their side of the mountains and the Chinese on theirs. The border that China recognizes is the first British created and published border which is on the China side of the mountains which were formally no man land. China was busy fighting Japan at the time. Subsequently, the British adjusted the border twice without consultation. India recognizes this amendment but China doesn't" The British is nation should be blamed for this border issue.

Remember the Free Tibet Movement that dominated the headlines in the late '80s and into the '90s? Tibetan Freedom Concerts were held in support of it across the United States, Europe and Asia. What happened to that movement? And what happened to the Panchen Lama, who the CCP kidnapped in '95?
In Simpsons Lisa used to support free Tibet before CCP lobotomized her
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Although Mao & CCP are ruthless killers, search “Tibet serfdom” & see how 90-95% of Tibetans lived in a brutal cast system that gouged our eyes, chopped off limbs. Most Tibetan monks & elites weren’t non violent until after 1959. I never knew those things until a few years ago.
Don Vickers Well said. We sure aren’t that country that arm in arm with our Allies ‘that sure aren’t the same countries either’ crossed that channel in 1944 or crossed the massive pacific fighting all the way. I don’t know what we are now and it’s sure not a race thing for me. It takes all colors to make the America I want that’s as strong willed as 44 but without the racism of that time. I better stop before I get on my soapbox lol.
Thats what i heard. Is it true or Chinese propaganda?
So draw a conclusion, Inda wanted Tibet become a cusion between China and India, just like USSR made Mongolia independent and becomes a cusion between China and Russia. However, they were not as powerful as USSR.

Chairman Mao：“I've been thinking for three days and three nights, but I still can't figure out why Nehru did this to us.”
Mao is so good at making enemies out of allies.
So let India keep stolen lands from china? At that time, China was an enemy of US, and then broken their relationship with Soviet Union because of Soviet Union's bully. Indians thought they had the opportunity to stolen lands from china. Indian's most foolish idea is that they are the inheritor of their older master which colonized and slave them ---- the British Empire. the empire demarcated the Indian-China border so called：McMahon Line which is totally Illegal. British Empire retreated to their homeland and let Indians independent--you know before the english came to Indian, Indian not even a unity country. It's dozens kingdoms.

@@aarontang2496 That's funny considering the fact that China keeps pushing further into the south china sea and into other nations territories. They think the whole world belongs to them due to 'historical' ties. Foolish

Near the end of the film from the look on his face Khrushchev was just not impressed with the little red book waving. It might have been prior to the little red book waving thing so if it wasn’t that then it was the worship like idolizing of Mao even then he didn’t seem so impressed with. That might have been the visit Mao took him on the infamous swimming trip.
Not only that, but Mao had always thought that he was next in seniority and should rightfully inherit the mantle of leading the communist revolution after Stalin's death. He didn't take to Khrushchev at all, clearly that sentiment went both ways. Khrushchev didn't agree with Mao's upstart style of peasant socialism.
Imagine the horrors these soldiers experienced
This video is very biased. So much so that the Publisher knows it and have made it unavailable in India. So that you can't hear the story of the Indian POV.

Foolish comment expecting quid pro from china...look what Tibetan people must feel
The war was the way for Mao Zedong to regain power within the CCP. He succeeded.
This video kind of leaves out lots of relevant information. It wasn't Mao suddenly deciding Tibet was a part of China. It had been a part of China since the Qing Dynasty and was also considered, along with the whole of Mongolia and Taiwan, a part of China according to then rolling party the KMT during the Republic of China days.
That was then, now is now

Interesting documentary because it seems to be completely told from the Chinese side.
@lulla David of course.. chinese communists are known for telling the truth. There are Universities in Brussels that are researching why chinese always tell the truth.
You question this Documentary when it was Produce by the West(specifically US) what the heck. India was allied by the US but they didn't help them they just SOLD them GUNS typical Americans money money. Now Modi's term he was just doing what Neru had made thinking US was there to support them.

Tibet was simply one of the many time bombs left by the British. It's a scar of British colonialism in many parts of the globe.
Britain helped modernise India, and has continued to help many poor countries of the world with its vast overseas aid.
@@davedavidh3328 you're reiterating political statements from the BBC. Foreign states are demanding return of their national artifacts that the Brits have been stealing for hundreds of years and continuing to do so.
Mao just had to teach Neru a lesson that sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword. He should have took the offer to give up land at least until your forces are stronger. Mao could have wiped you out completely.
Well said!

@@sharedfuture5669 India was not Korea and Indian army was no joke, with British and American help and weapons they would have pushed the Chinese back to tibet, the same army performed exceptionally well in 2nd world war in Asia and Africa, there is a reason Mao turned back when Nehru appealed to America.

the boundary claimed by China is the legal boundary between China and British India colony. In history British invaded China several times, they forced China signed contract to give up the ownership of land to the India colony, As long as China signed the contract China accept it(in 19 century China twice gave up land,s to India colony). But in 20th century British just military occupied some new land which China never sign contract to give them up, India should not regard them as a part of India. Besides some these land British even did not occupied just claimed ownership one side. India already occupied a lot of China,s land which in law aspect still belong to China, while they want to occupied all the land that British claimed ownership.
False truth..Tibet was free and was grabbed by hegemonistic china
The boundary claimed by China reflects it's imperialist ambition. We as Indians consider not China but Tibet as our neighbour. The problem with the Chinese is that they think are invincible and that they should occupy as much land as was occupied by some great Chinese dynasty in the 16th or 18th century, whichever suits their narrative. This is why they were literally thrashed in 1979 by Vietnam when they started to occupy Vietnam after US withdrawal. Not to mention, the Chinese were also thoroughly thrashed by India in 1967 and 2020.

India claimed Tibet. But its power never has matched its ambition.
Respect to China 💪🏻💪🏻
Congress leadership did not learn comhrehensive lesson from this war. The political parties and politicians were interested still in socialism and vested interest rather than mobilising India as a mighty economic force and military force . Corruption and religious politics coupled with lack of vision politics kept inias back wardness .
Religious politics? If anything shunning our religious identity brought us down.
This documentary is great.But there is a huge mistake.They showed east pakistan (now Bangladesh) in the india's map.
Give it time.
Back then Bangladesh was still East Pakistan, the independence of Bangladesh came with the Third Indo-Pakistani war in 1971 when the Indian Army invaded East Pakistan and with the help of the bengali militias liberated the country and thus Bangladesh was born.

The attitude towards the indian POW was good. In 1969 the chinese treatment of the Soviet border guards POW wàs absolutely merciless in a fascist style. They were toetured and killed.
The Chinese government before Mao's government also claimed Tibet.
Tibet was part of China during Qing dynasty.
actually this war changed india. after this war india decided boost its military and nuclear program. look at now where is indian and china
India may have boosted its military but so has china , basically nothing has changed ...
Without 1962, India will also develop military and nuclear weapons
where is india today? pls elaborate.
