NEW DELHI—One year following the escalation of tensions at the Sino–India border, the conflict appears to have calmed, though distrust between the two nations continues. Stand-offs persist in at least four locations within the eastern sector of the Line of Actual Control (LAC), which separates disputed territory between the two countries, according to Indian media.

The current wave of tensions began in late April 2020, with military forces from both countries engaging in skirmishes and aggressive patrolling at multiple locations along the 2,100-mile-long disputed border.
