China and India are still formally at war since the 60s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Indian_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Indian_War and there is an ongoing dispute over territories in the east of India https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Indian_border_dispute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Indian_border_dispute
The latter still makes the news in the West sometimes, not every year. HNers from those countries might give us some insights about how much their people feel it important.
- nindalf 1y agoFor what it's worth, China has had past or current border disputes with every neighbour of theirs. They have issues with India, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, to say nothing of Taiwan. The ridiculous nine-dash line they've come up with contravenes international law and basic common sense. If you meet an asshole in the morning, you're unlucky. If you meet nothing but assholes all day, you're the asshole.
- Symmetry 1y agoMy wife is from China and when I ask her what people there think of the India/China border disputes she says that people aren't aware of them.
- nonethewiser 1y agoDoesnt surprise me much. It's very far from 95% of the population and China doesnt have much to gain by being loud about the border skirmishes.
