China recently denied a visa to an Arunachal Pradesh official. The basis of the denial was that the official was already a citizen of China as he was a citizen of Arunachal Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh belongs to China.^[2]

The borderline was originally negotiated between Tibet and Great Britain at the Simla Convention in March of 1914. The border determined at that time is known as the McMahon Line.^[3] China's claim is that it was not a party to the Simla Conference nor to a separate treaty between Britain and Tibet and therefore the treaty is “illegal and invalid”.^[4] China further alleges the treaty was secretly amended one month later by British and Tibetan officials and the border line changed.^[4] This article is about historical/cultural Tibet. ...

One of issues at the root of a subsequent border dispute between Tibet and India is Tibet's claim that if the line drawn at the Simla Conference is valid, then this supports Tibet's position as an independent nation, and therefore India has no business entering into Tibet's affairs, as alleged in 1959 by the exiled Dalai Lama.^[5] Currently Tibet is a providence of China known as the Tibet Autonomous Region.
