Forward, many top leaders advocated a policy known as the “Three
Accommodations and one Reduction” (Sanhe Yishao). The policy advocated
accommodation with the “bourgeois nationalist” states along China’s southern
tier as a way to rectify adverse developments in the balance of power. This paper
analyzes the dynamics of China’s relations with its South Asian neighbors leading
up to and in the immediate aftermath of the 1962 Sino-Indian border war to
situate these boundary settlements within its larger strategic context and
examines the influence the Sanhe Yishao policy on China’s policy toward boundary
settlements.
China concluded a boundary treaty with Burma in January 1960, the first in a series
of boundary agreements between China and its southern neighbors. Two months
after concluding the boundary treaty with Burma, China reached a boundary
agreement with Nepal in March 1960. In April 1960, China engaged India in
negotiations but the two sides failed to reach a compromise settlement and war
ensued in October 1962. Following the Sino-Indian border war, in December 1962
China and Pakistan reached an agreement settling their mutual boundary, and a
boundary agreement with Afghanistan in March 1963 was the last in this series of
settlements China concluded with its South Asian neighbors in the early 1960s

To what degree does this checkered past fundamentally determine the possibility of close, strategic cooperation now and in the future? China's important and complex relationship with Russia will be considered first, followed by an analysis of China-Mongolian relations and finally China's relationship with the Central Asian status with which it shares a common border. The important America factor is also considered. The article concluyes that despite the closer relations that are developing between China and its northwestern neighbours, the historical legacy of domination, unequeal treaties, and ethnic conflict will haunt the significant improvement in relations.

Among others, it resulted in an unresolved conflict permanently hindering rapprochement between China and India, the establishment of the Sino-Pakistani axis, the deepening of the Sino-Soviet split and had a lasting impact on Indian domestic affairs.
This volume draws on new documentary evidence to re-evaluate perceptions, motivations and decision-making processes of both antagonists, but also of third powers immediately affected by the conflict. It also investigates the effect on India’s internal politics, its Constitution, the Communist Party of India and the fate of Indians of Chinese origin. Finally, it analyses how the conflict is viewed in India today and its ramifications for India–China relationship.
A major intervention in the Asian historical landscape, this book will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of modern history, especially of modern South Asia and China, international relations, defence and strategic studies, international politics and government. It will also be useful for think-tanks and government agencies.
