SAID DURING A DISCUSSION OF THE SINO-INDIAN BORDER SITUATION THAT
THE CHINESE WOULD AGREE TO THE MCMAHON LINE, BUT THAT IT HAS
YET TO BE DECIDED WHERE THE LINE IS LOCATED. THE SINO-
INDIAN BORDER HAS NEVER BEEN DELINEATED AND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST
GOVERNMENT HAS NEVER RECOGNIZED ANY BORDER AGREEMENT.
CHINA WANTED TO SETTLE THE BORDER DISPUTE PEACEFULLY BUT
IT WAS ATTACKED BY INDIA AND NOW HAD TO PROTECT ITSELF.
