One side is lying. I was reading about how the dispute is based on a river border, but the Chinese have diverted the river.
At the moment China is the world superpower or at least right up there and the USA is preoccupied with Trump and CV19.

Part of the problem is using a river as a border in the first place. It's most evident in Bangladesh, where, because the river channels move so much, land owners frequently gain and lose land to their neighbours all the time which often causes disputes.

There was a good artcle in The Economist noting they've both been up to tricks. The chinese playing with the line of control (no one is overly sure where the official boarder runs) and the Indians have been building up their side to stick it to the chinese.
However, going at it with nail studded iron rebar. Disgraceful behaviour for a superpower and an up and coming one.

I believe they convince themselves they are right. Must have been a terrifying fight. I would have thought one side or the other would have equipped themselves with weapons (non bullet kind), China has form though with building the islands to increase its maritime boundaries.
