India says it has international backing in border dispute with ChinaSpecial representatives from both sides have been holding regular talks since 2003, but disputes remain. This week’s meeting on borders is the first since India and China resolved a summer standoff in a different Himalayan region. The dispute began in mid-June after Chinese troops started building a road on the plateau, and India deployed troops to stop the project. India and China have a long history of mistrust as they jostle for regional supremacy. India and China went to war in 1962 over Arunachal Pradesh, with Chinese troops temporarily capturing part of the Himalayan territory.
