The boundary, disputed by India's northern neighbour, has had a profound effect on the relations between the two Asian giants, resulting prominently in the war of 1962 but also in several skirmishes and stand-offs both before and after that. It continues to be a thorn in the side - reaching a flashpoint at the tri-junction between Tibet, Sikkim and Bhutan in Doklam in 2017 - and may derail all the progress in bilateral ties if left unattended.  aForeign RelationvChina--Tibet Autonomous RegionvBoundarieszIndiazChinazTibet
