The lethal skirmishes between Indian and Chinese border patrols that took place in June in the Himalayan sector of their disputed border and continuing tensions have raised new questions about a possible “re-set” of relations between the two Asian giants and the prospects for regional stability. A panel of historians, diplomats, and political scientists will address these concerns through the long lens of history and more recent geopolitical trends.
