India-China Border Dispute

postfactum.co.uk:

China-India relations have been defined by China’s control of Tibet and a continuing dispute along their mountainous border.

Between 2005 and 2012, the relationship featured political dialogue, the expansion of border infrastructure, and occasional minor incidents.

Infrastructure has played a central role, with both countries building roads, railways, military bases, and villages along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

This allows to reinforce territorial claims and enable faster troop movement.

Ties deteriorated following the rise of nationalist leaders Xi Jinping in China (2012) and Narendra Modi in India (2014).
