As troops from the two nuclear-armed countries clash for dominance along their borders, no shots are fired but the first casualties in more than 50 years occur in a skirmish with iron rods and stones.

High in the Himalayas, along a stretch of land that divides China's autonomous region of Tibet from India, clashes have broken out between the two Asian giants in a major escalation of a weeks-long stand-off.No official border through the Himalayas has been agreed by the two countries despite a truce 60 years ago

The violence is a continuation of a decades-old dispute between the world's two most populous countries over the precise location of their Himalayan border.How did it all start? While no border has ever officially been negotiated along the Himalayan stretch that divides the two nations, the truce established a 3,380 kilometre-long, loosely demarcated line referred to as the Line of Actual Control .

here is the historical records how British government shamefully forged documents

all of this resulted from British occupation of India where they drew an illegal border line of MacMahon, Chinese government never recognise it, but after India became independent they didn’t abandon it, this caused trouble! China rejected MacMahon line but India insists it!

China really know how to make friends

Good! Our two biggest trading partners are fighting. Perhaps we should export arms, just like the US.

nuclear armed countries fighting with only stones for decades, very noble of both sides.

India is a troublemaker. India vs Nepal. India vs Pakistan. India vs China. Who is the next country?

This dispute has been going on for 6 weeks and ABC first cover it now? Seriously this article below posted 2 hours ago looks derived from a May BBC. China-India border: Why tensions are rising between the neighbours

CCP bullying and stealing land as usual. TibetWillBeFree

Cause they both live in glass houses.

Maybe because Modi is taking the piss out of them in the Indian Parliament.

Covid China will vanish from this earth soon! Their end is not too far away!!

Bloody amazing, two nuclear armed countries fighting with sticks and stones. I believe that fighting with sticks and stones was the fore-runner to cricket. One tribe throwing stones at another tribe who bat them off with sticks?

CCP encroaching on others territory. Nothing new.

Good that nuclear foes are using caveman technologies - sticks and stones - to kill each other. Bored I guess.
