[ed. This territorial dispute between China and India figured prominantly in Neal Stephenson's recent geoengineering/climate-themed novel Termination Shock. I figured it was some obscure, sleepy, low-level enterprise but as noted it's actually a fairly active (in a low-level way) matter of ongoing concern (this was from 2020). Can you imagine? A war being fought (by mutual agreement) that disallows anything other than rudimentary weapons. One of central characters in Termination Shock, Laks, is a martial arts expert fighting along this border. Weird.]
