ABSTRACT
India and China had come out openly with differing claims of the alignment of the Himalayan boundaries between Tibet and northern Indian territories. The Chinese made clear in some of their official notes that they believed India was not only permitting the Tibetan resistance to make use of Indian Territory as sanctuary but also allowing anti-Communist Western powers, to operate from Indian soil against Chinese interests. The Central Intelligence Agency reopened the Tibetan training school following the Sino-Indian war but it was finally closed down in 1964. The Tibetan drama was not a simple act of executive agencies and undercover agents working in great secrecy against considerable odds against the powers of a major actor, it was also one in which secret diplomacy played a major role. One of the actors on that less covert stage was Taiwan, or the Republic of China, as it was then popularly called.
