The disputed border between China and India is divided into several sections

The China-India border line is divided into three parts: the eastern part runs along the southern foothills of the Himalayas, the middle part runs along the Himalayas, and the western part runs along the Karakoram Mountains.

Issues left over from the history of border demarcation between China and India.

The total length of the Sino-Indian border is about 2,000 kilometers. It has never been officially demarcated in history. However, the two countries have already formed a traditional customary line according to their respective administrative jurisdictions.

The China-India border line is divided into three parts: the eastern part runs along the southern foothills of the Himalayas, the middle part runs along the Himalayas, and the western part runs along the Karakoram Mountains.

The Sino-Indian border dispute is a legacy of British colonialism.

After India became independent in 1947, it fully took over some of the border areas occupied by the British in Tibet, China, and continued to encroach on Chinese territory.

After the Sino-Indian border war in 1962, Sino-Indian relations fell to a freezing point, and negotiations were not resumed until 1981.

In November 2004, China and India established a "three-step" road map to resolve the boundary issue.

In 2005, China and India reached the "Political Guiding Principles for the Settlement of the Sino-Indian Boundary Issues", taking the first step towards resolving the boundary issue.

In 2019, China and India held the 22nd meeting of special representatives on boundary issues and reached consensus on strengthening confidence-building measures.

In 2020, India blatantly violated the consensus reached between the two sides, crossed the line of actual control and deliberately provoked China, and continued to cause conflicts in the Galwan Valley and Pangong Lake areas.

?As of April 29, 2021, the border defense forces of China and India have achieved disengagement in the Galwan Valley and Pangong Lake areas, and the situation on the ground in the border areas has generally eased.

On September 8, 2022, based on the consensus reached at the 16th round of military commander-level talks between China and India, the Chinese and Indian militaries began to synchronize and plan disengagement at the Gananda Ban frontline troops.
