The Chinese People's Liberation Army proclaims a unilateral cease-fire in the Sino-Indian War in 1962 in order to claim unlawfully captured territory.
Zhou Enlai suggested a cease-fire and negotiated a compromise. Enlai proposed that India and China disengage and withdraw their soldiers 20 kilometres beyond the current lines of real control. Enlai recommended Chinese departure from Arunachal Pradesh (NEFA), while India and China should preserve the status quo in Aksai Chin. After occupying Aksai Chin and withdrawing from the northeastern provinces, where its soldiers had come down till Tezpur in Assam, China proclaimed a unilateral ceasefire, thereby ending the conflict.
