NEW DELHI, (AP) - Red Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai said tonight China will respect the disputed MacMahon line between northeast India and Tibet.
"The so-called MacMahon line is completely unacceptable to China." Chou said, "but we are willing to maintain the 'present status in that sector. We will not cross that line."
The statement to newsmen seemed to free India of the Chinese claim to 36,000 square miles of territory in the northeast, one of the two major areas in dispute. The other is the Ladakh Plateau about 1,000 miles west of the northeast frontier.
Chou spoke after winding up conferences with Prime Minister Nehru on the border dispute. A communique said they failed to reach agreement but they had decided to let other officials of the two governments study documents bearing on the location of the border.
