India-China Border Row: S Jaishankar Explains What ’75% Disputes Resolved’ Means

Jaishankar said India has had a "difficult history" with China and that Beijing moved several troops to the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in 2020, despite New Delhi having "explicit agreements" with it.

"We have a difficult history with China. Despite the explicit agreements we had with China, we saw in the middle of Covid that the Chinese moved a large number of forces in violation of these agreements to the LAC. It was likely a mishap would happen and it did. So, there was a clash and a number of troops died on either side. That, in a sense, overshadowed the relationship," he said at the Asia Society at the Asia Society Policy Institute in New York.
