Indian and Chinese troops clashed in the Tawang sector of the north-eastern Arunachal Pradesh state last week. According to reports, dozens of Chinese soldiers made an incursion before being confronted by Indian soldiers who pushed them back across the Line of Actual Control, or LAC.
The clashes marked the most serious incident along their contested mountainous border since soldiers from the two giant nations were killed and captured in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley of June 2020, which plunged bilateral relations to their lowest level in decades.
