Amidst the ongoing border dispute and diplomatic tension between India and China, a very big and shocking news is coming out from Beijing. As soon as India’s newly appointed Ambassador to China Vikram Doraiswami took charge, he has taken an unexpected step which has shocked the Chinese rulers and the Communist government of Dragon. The new Indian Ambassador has suddenly arrived on a visit to Tibet Autonomous Region. In diplomatic circles, this visit is being seen as a very sensitive and far-reaching strategic message. Generally, ambassadors of any country do not go out of Beijing immediately after assuming the post, especially to a disputed and strategically important area like Tibet, which is why China seems to be completely surprised by this sudden change in diplomatic stance of India.
Indian ambassador reached Tibet’s land as soon as he set foot in Beijing
According to information received from diplomatic sources, as soon as Vikram Doraiswami officially took command as India’s top diplomat in China, he decided to visit Tibet’s capital Lhasa and several important areas along the India-China border. During this visit, he took stock of Indian citizens, Buddhist monks and local cultural centers living in Tibet. Experts say that through this step of the Indian government, an attempt has been made to give a clear message to China that India is keeping a close and direct eye on the developments around Tibet and the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
After all, why is China scared of this sudden visit of the new ambassador?
Tibet has always been a very sensitive and weak nerve for China. China views with extreme suspicion the direct movement and activism of any foreign diplomat, especially Indian officials, in the region. This sudden visit of Vikram Doraiswami has put the Chinese Foreign Ministry in confusion. Beijing’s strategists fear that India may now give fresh air to the Tibet card on the global stage. Along with this, through this visit, India has also made it clear that until peace is restored on the border and the Chinese army does not completely withdraw from the LAC, India will not reduce its diplomatic aggressive stance.
What will be the impact of this big step on India-China diplomatic relations?
Military and geopolitical analysts believe that this step of Vikram Doraiswami reflects a big and bold change in Indian foreign policy. In the last few years, India has adopted a strategy of replying to China in its own language. After this high-profile Tibet visit, the rhetoric and tension between Beijing and New Delhi may increase further in the coming days. The Chinese Communist Party is preparing to give its official response to the visit, while the Indian External Affairs Ministry has termed it a routine and normal administrative visit. However, this one tour has once again drawn the attention of the whole world towards Tibet and the India-China border dispute.
