The Chinese-Indian border clashes in Arunachal Pradesh. Cooler heads will likely prevail, but these are two nuclear-armed super-patriotic countries who think the 21st century belongs to them.https://twitter.com/SJha1618/status/1272894310376235008 …
I made a mistake. It's not Arunachal Pradesh, it's Ladakh which is in Kashmir, the area disputed between India and Pakistan. Arunachal is noted by the green arrow, Ladakh by the red. https://twitter.com/notlinear1/status/1273001747175231489 …pic.twitter.com/ilbJnKpwyG

Pretty interesting map of Indian border conflicts. China has border/island disputes with Taiwan, Japan, and India. Formerly it had disputes with Russia and Tajikistan. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/India_disputed_areas_map.svg …

to be precise, Ladakh is a separate entity. Ladakh was previously part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Last, year the state was reorganised into 2 union territories, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Ladakh is culturally and geographically different from Jammu and Kashmir.

Most of Ladakh is a barren high altitude, inhospitable cold desert. Very low population density.
