The long-standing territorial dispute between China and India, stretching over 3,440 kilometers, has been a persistent source of tension and conflict between these two nations. The historical conflict escalated into a brief but significant war in 1962. In recent years, tensions have flared up once again, particularly since 2020, resulting in clashes near critical areas like Pangong Lake, Galwan Valley, and various other points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). 

Join the China Program at Stanford Shorenstein APARC for an in-depth look at the background for the recent clashes as we provide a comprehensive exploration of the dispute's historical context, the current management of tensions, and its potential implications for the future of China-India relations.
