On the brink: China and India's border standoff

SCMP, 27 Jul 2020
The exact details of the brutal confrontation in June between Chinese and Indian soldiers along the disputed 'Line of Actual Control' dividing their two countries in the Himalayas remain unclear. What is clear is how the ongoing relationship between China and India has changed.

India has since banned a list of Chinese mobile apps, including TikTok, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has carefully plotted a course of economic sanctions that target China while maintaining India's huge import industry of Chinese-made goods.

Independent journalist Kunal Purohit unpacks what happened, why there was no war, and how it influences the economic and diplomatic relationships not only of China and India but of Russia and the United States. #scmppodcasts
