India - China Border issue

india and China have held many talks and negotiations.
But still the border issue has not been resolved.
India and China both lay claim to place called Arunachal Pradesh.
Recently China refused VISA to an Arunachal Officer on the grounds that he is a Chinese citizen and that he does not require a visa to visit China.

I personally feel that a plebiscite should be held in Arunacahal Pradesh to decide to which country the region belongs.

Please post your views on this matter

Both claim it, and China's interest in Tawang is very strong.
Both want the area, both for religious and economical purpuses.
But if India has now control of the area then in reality its rather a desperate attempt in China's part to claim its their territory simply because it used to be so. Its like Russia trying to calim all the land owned by the Soviet Union. Just because it used to own it doesn't mean it has any claims to it now.
China could ofcaourse try to buy it, espeacially if it tries to benefit India's people, as in if its buying from them, but they will have to pay gov too.
But until further developments i dont see an answer so far.
