References to Maxwell and Calvin edit
Sometime in 2011, Zanhe add these two passages:
In 1914 the Tibetan government signed the Simla Accord with Britain, ceding the South Tibet region to British India. The Chinese government denounced the agreement as illegal.[1][2]
In 1962 China and India fought a brief war over the disputed South Tibet and Aksai Chin regions. Although China won the war, Chinese troops withdrew north of the McMahon Line, effectively ceding South Tibet back to India.[2]

The text is entirely WP:OR with citaions added seem WP:FAKE. The term "South Tibet" doesn't appear in either source nor does "Simla Accord" (whatever that means). That the "Chinese government" denounced the agreement as "illegal" appears only in Calvin. Calvin does claim that both Kuomintang and PRC called it "illegal" and I can find a similar statement in Alastair Lamb, but no evidence was given for the claim. The present day PRC calls it "illegal" (as is well-known), but that is not to say that the Chinese government in 1914 "denounced" it. See Talk:Arunachal Pradesh/Archive 1#Chinese position for a prior discussion of the issue.
The second passage is even more problematic. China is said to have fought a war "over South Tibet and Aksai Chin regions". Where does Calvin make any such claim? China has only called the war a "self-defence counterattack". Never did it claim that it was fighting over territory. "Ceding South Tibet back to India" is similarly nonsense. China made only three thrusts into the so-called "South Tibet", in Tawang, Subansiri and at Walong. The occupation would have involved no more than 4 or 5 disticts out of 26. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 01:59, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
