China (Tibet) and India Border Issue : a potentially explosive crisis point

A month and so ago I came across a couple or so articles discussing the border dispute between China and India.
For instance Unmasking China By Bharat Verma in Indian Defence Review in July and Why India is Clueless about China by Brahma Chellaney (publ. September 07, 2009).

The China (Tibet)-India border issue is very complicated and indeed worrying, and in July for instance I eye witnessed a freight train loaded with tanks passing through Tibet (my first thought was, well that's going to the border). China's military presence in Tibet is not only aimed at "harmonizing" the Tibetans after last years anti-Han rule riots, but also is a potentially very explosive sovereignty issue with many complex implications.
The tensions in Tibet are escalating and the Tibet issue might prove to be one of the most important ones on the world diplomatic stage. An issue in which not only China-India and Tibet are sides to.
Just now I came across an article in Newsweek which discusses the border issue and some of it's implications.

There simply isn't such thing as a military "peaceful rise"...

Hm, as my friend M. who jokingly commented on my too many political postings lately quoted:
"Long live the international situation"!*

...for those of you who understand Chinese, a news video clip with China TV channel report on the matter in true "1984" style...I'm a "big fan" of the spokesmen (and woman!) of the Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry...It would have been very amusing to watch the bile, aggressiveness and inferiority/superiority complex that they emanate, if it wasn't giving me the chills...


*This was one of the ridiculous slogans during the communist era in the Eastern Block...
We often joke using it when we talk about politics and international affairs...
