prime minister nehru's "preconditions" strategy - the mcmahon line as the basis of the border between the two countries has always been the core of india's foreign policy. but over time, this policy seems to have changed under nehru's leadership. nevertheless, his core position has always remained firm in "not giving up any territorial claims", which has led to questions and speculation about prime minister nehru's political movements.

before zhou enlai's visit, indian society had undergone drastic changes. the people's league's demonstrations, the "memorandum" submitted, and prime minister nehru's final compromise all became symbols of this diplomatic war. this not only reflected prime minister nehru's attention to the threat from china, but also reflected his caution in domestic politics.

however, prime minister nehru's change was not a simple policy adjustment, but more of a strategic choice: he hoped to promote domestic unity, accelerate economic development, and strengthen national defense by emphasizing china's "threat" to india. his actions had to safeguard national interests, stabilize the political situation, and also cope with pressure from the soviet union.

prime minister nehru always remained calm and rational when facing china. he realized that it was difficult to solve the border issue by relying solely on military action, and that a more active strategy was needed to promote diplomatic negotiations. therefore, he took "economic development" as the cornerstone of the negotiations and believed in the support of the soviet union, which ultimately led to the success of the sino-indian border negotiations.

prime minister nehru's transformation also reflects the change in india's role on the international political stage. his decision-making reflects india's "wisdom" in diplomatic strategy and his "deep" thinking on foreign policy.
