The Cradle: Xi, Modi agree to 'de-escalate' tensions on disputed Himalayan border
A 2020 clash between Chinese and Indian troops fighting with sticks and clubs on the ill-defined border killed 24
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed on 24 August to seek a resolution to years of tensions along the Himalayan border area between the two nuclear-armed countries.
Indian Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra stated that Modi had spoken to Xi on the sidelines at the BRICS summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. Modi highlighted India’s concerns about the unresolved issues along the “Line of Actual Control” (LAC), which serves as the effective India-China border.
“The prime minister underlined that the maintenance of peace and tranquillity in the border areas and observing and respecting the LAC are essential for the normalization of the India-China relationship,” Kwatra said.

Is this the 14th or 15th time they’ve decided to de-escalate? I lost track.
These side-discussions are nothing more than to drum up support at home and they never achieve anything other than postponement of the issue.

There will never be a solution with the current aggressive Chinese government in power. Just ask the people of Tibet, who were sacrificed by the world powers to China in exchange for cheap consumer goods.
