There is no “1993 LAC”. The full title of the 1993 Agreement is “Agreement on the Maintenance of Peace and Tranquility along the Line of Actual Control in the India-China Border Areas”. https://twitter.com/pravinsawhney/status/1304304747382407169
The 1993 Agreement contains the proviso that “the experts shall advise the Joint Working Group on the resolution of differences between the two sides on the alignment of the line of actual control”.
It follows that there is no mutually defined LAC between India and China in the India-China border areas as in the years since 1993 the above exercise was not completed.
The so-called 1959 LAC of China is a self-defined Chinese ‘line’ in the Chinese imaginary and has never been accepted by India. It should not be confused with India’s definition/perception of the LAC.
I do not believe that India has ‘given up’ reference to the LAC and is now content with usage of the term ‘border areas’ as a substitute. The LAC -this is the fact- exists in the border areas. Not in Delhi or Beijing!
