India China border

China will have to learn to live with India’s roads and railways near the disputed border, say Indian officials.

There is no indication whether a breakthrough in the impasse was achieved but the meeting is expected to reduce tensions.

Roads and bridges as well as "vibrant villages" are being constructed and upgraded to improve overland connectivity to the border with China.

The new law could unilaterally alter the situation in areas along their disputed border.

Are New Delhi and Beijing in a new bilateral era?

V.K. Singh’s statement is likely to complicate New Delhi’s negotiating stance when it comes to resolving the Ladakh crisis.

Historical patterns in China’s behavior suggest that Beijing is willing to pick fights in order to stave off external anti-China coalitions.

India also remains concerned about Chinese infrastructure growth and relocation activities across the LAC.

New Indian media reports suggest that the People’s Liberation Army has expanded its activities across the entire LAC.

As the Ladakh crisis crosses the 5-month mark, many in New Delhi are suggesting a radically different approach toward China’s bad behavior.

With each passing provocative claim, Beijing is making the possibility of a face-saving solution remote for India – and itself.
