Historical origins of the Tibet issue and the Sino-Indian border issue

after the British ruled India, they continued to expand their boundaries in India, which made the Sino-Indian border problem start to appear, and because the border with India was the Tibet region of China, and the British government always hoped that Tibet could become a buffer zone between China and India. This made the border issue between the two countries even more complicated. The British government was committed to demarcating India's borders in the tradition of European nation-states. In spite of the British efforts to establish the boundary between India and China by means of a conference or a treaty, the Chinese government never recognized it. In the end, there did not emerge a clear and legal boundary line between India and China, but only a border area of vague scope. After India's independence, due to the serious ethnic and border problems in India, the Indian government, out of national interest, attempted to inherit and expand the British colonial legacy on the Sino-Indian border, sanctifying the border legacy inherited from Britain, and after the People's Republic of China was established and took control of Tibet, it inevitably would not agree with this behavior of the Indian government, which gave rise to the Sino-Indian border problem.
