7 This is what is commonly known as the concept of ‘linkage.’ With regard to Southcast Asia, Whiting expresses his belief that there are no independent viable societies and governments in the near future. He asserts: “If we say we want all these situations [of political instability] to exist without any Chinese interference, then let us forget it. Obviously, the Chinese are going to influence and interfere as the Russians influence and interfere in the Middle East … and as Americans do in Latin America“ (Taiwan and American Policy, 140).

11 In his historical introduction, Maxwell reaffirms the generally known fact that no Chinese Government has ever accepted the McMahon Line, and that the sector between Afghanistan and Nepal remained undetermined.

12 In a memorandum dictated by Nehru and circulated to the ministries concerned, Nehru wrote that this whole frontier “should be considered a firm and definite one which is not open to discussion with anyone” (Maxwell, 80).

13 Maxwell is not totally uncritical of some aspects of China's diplomacy. In retrospect, he feels that if in his meeting with Nehru in 1956, Chou En-lai had brought up the Chinese claim to Aksai Chin in the context of his concession on the McMahon Line, “it was highly probable that this dispute would have been avoided” (pp. 94, 95). He notes that Chou's letter of September 6, 1959, to Nehru misled the Indian Government into considering it as a repudiation of the McMahon Line and “a barely veiled claim for the whole of NEFA [the North-East Frontier Agency] north of Brahmaputra …” (pp. 124, 125). He also criticizes the statement issued by China's Defense Ministry on October 20, 1963 (which accused the Indian troops of launching large-scale attacks) as “sacrificing truth for propaganda advantage” (pp. 371, 372).
