Highlights 1 Beijing today said that China too is different than what is was in 1962. 2 This comes after China stepped up its claims on India "trespassing" at the Sikkim border. 3 It was also in response to Arun Jaitley 's remarks that India in 2017 is very different. Responding to Defence Minister Arun Jaitley's statement to India Today saying India in 2017 was different from 1962, Beijing retorted on Monday that "to some extent he is right in saying India in 2017 is different from India in 1962, just like China is also different". However, in the same letter, Nehru also mentioned agreements on the boundaries in Ladakh and Arunachal, which China now rejects.
