    Topic: India-China Border Issue

    The Sino-Indian border dispute is an ongoing territorial dispute over the


    sovereignty of two relatively large, and several smaller, separated pieces of
    territory between China and India. The first of which, Aksai Chin, is located either
    in the Indian union territory of Ladakh or the Chinese autonomous regions of
    Xinjiang and Tibet; it is a virtually uninhabited wasteland crossed by the Xinjiang-
    Tibet Highway. The other disputed territory lies south of the McMahon Line,
    formerly known as the North-East Frontier Agency, and now called Arunachal
    Pradesh. The McMahon Line was part of the 1914 Simla Convention signed
    between British India and Tibet, without China's agreement. As of 2020, India
    continues to maintain that the McMahon Line is the legal border in the east. China
    had never accepted that border, stating that Tibet was never independent when it
    signed the Simla Convention.

    The 1962 Sino-Indian War was fought in both disputed areas. Chinese troops
    attacked Indian border posts in Ladakh in the west and crossed the McMohan line
    in the east. There was a brief border clash in 1967 in the region of Sikkim. In 1987
    and in 2013, potential conflicts over the two differing Lines of Actual Control were
    successfully de-escalated. A dispute involving a Bhutanese-controlled area on the
    border between Bhutan and China was successfully de-escalated in 2017 following
    injuries to both Indian and Chinese troops. Multiple brawls broke out in 2020,
    escalating to dozens of deaths in June 2020.
    The agreement to resolve the dispute concluded in 1996 included "confidence-
    building measures" and the Line of Actual Control. In 2006, the Chinese
    ambassador to India claimed that all of Arunachal Pradesh is Chinese territory
    amidst a military buildup. At the time, both countries claimed incursions as much
    as a kilometer at the northern tip of Sikkim. In 2009, India announced it would
    deploy additional military forces along the border. In 2014, India proposed China
    should acknowledge a "One India" policy to resolve the border dispute.
