This is the more recent one. There was a deadlier one sometime ago. No shots are fired though, since both nuclear armed countries are trying to avoid a full war. Generally, the fights are hand-to-hand, with rocks, and rifle butts.
China had entered into Indian territory and set up tents. Both sides later agreed to withdraw to status quo territories. Except China didn't keep its word (surprise, surprise), and came back ready to provoke a fight. When an Indian army team went there to enquire why the agreement was not being honoured, a Chinese soldier pushed a Colonel of the Indian Army. Indian soldiers went beserk seeing their unit commander (who's like a dad to troops on the battlefield) disrespected, destroyed the Chinese post, and forcibly escorted the Chinese soldiers back over the border.
A second, larger group of Chinese soldiers was waiting there with metal spiked clubs and barbed-wire wrapped rods and large stones. They attacked. 36 Indians vs 250+ Chinese inside Chinese territory. Later reinforcements from both sides came in. Totally 20 Indians and 43 Chinese died (Chinese numbers are reported, since Xi did not officially acknowledge their deaths).
Before coming back, as a warning, the Indian side smashed an embankment the Chinese had built across a river flowing into India.
Indians never liked them since they occupied Indian territory in the 60s (thanks to our traitor of a Prime Minister at the time). But after this recent stunt they pulled on the border and after coronavirus, anti-China sentiment is at an all time high.
As China sits on a large pile of debt (that requires them to keep growing to keep servicing the debt), not buying from things Made in China and demonizing companies that manufacture there is a very valid strategy to hurt China. Even if it's TikTok.
India is based. Their class social system is .?.. the one reason I know something is ‘off’ is that there is a whole group of people that are deemed the ‘untouchables.’ They were born out of the wrong vagina.
Yes untouchability did exist, and was very useful to the British while they ruled India (as part of their divide and rule policy). It's fast dying. I've not come across it in my lifetime, but I'm sure there are still pockets where it might be a thing.
The varna system (mistakenly translated as caste system) on the other hand still exists outside large cities, but it's limited to marriages now. It's socially accepted (including by "lower castes", although there's nothing low about them - another mistranslation by the British), not legally.
It would take too long to explain it from first principles, but the untouchability component isn't a part of what it's supposed to be, based on my understanding. However, I agree that later on it did degenerate into a system of control due to human nature. But it wasn't the Brahmins who enforced it, as is commonly reported in the West. The Brahmins were a small minority with no political or economic power. They were required to live on alms (does that sound upper caste to you?)
From a Western moral POV, even the original system may appear immoral. But from a Dharmic view, Western morality overweights the interests of the individual and underweights the interests of the collective. Once you no longer view things from Western morality, you can begin to understand the reasoning behind varna system. There's also a lot of misinformation and demonization concerning it, since it has always stood in the way of those who seek to conquer India, overtly or covertly.
As an example of collective (civilizational) interest: The varna system, even the degenerated version later on, is one of the main reasons Hinduism has survived 1000 years of invader rule (800 for Islam and 200 for Christianity via Europeans) bent on trying to impose their religion, way of life and/or civilizational ways. Take a look at this map, and see how Hinduism and way of life is the only indigenous one to survive a head on assault:
Seriously, the holocaust, as bad as it was, pales in comparison to what was done in India.
China proper (the eastern half) also survived, but they were never under the rule of invaders from the green and purple group in the video. Although Buddhism isn't indigenous outside India.
That "ban" was all just a ploy to help his buddy Larry Ellison buy up a stake on the cheap.
Woah there's a post there about a clash between India and China on the 20th.
"The Indian Army foiled an attempt by the Chinese to intrude across the border in Sikkim.
At least 20 PLA soldiers have been injured in the clash on January 20."

Yeah wow, that's intense. China's just not into making friends at the moment are they!
China is regretting killing all their women. Watch it unfold in real time.
Checkout https://tfiglobalnews.com/ and their YouTube channel too. It's quite amusing. They love shitting on China, Biden, MSM etc.

Trump was on the right track with the economic sanctions on China. But it's not enough. Consumer is king, and only they can cause real change.
Can't see India getting along well with CHY-NA
