China and India are locked in a tense, deadly struggle over some of the most inhospitable terrain on Earth. Despite efforts to ease tensions, the broader dispute remains unresolved and dangerous.

We visualized the area to help you understand the conflict. nyti.ms/2ZFq61b
At the center of the tension is Ladakh, a sparsely populated region where the two countries went to war in 1962.

The latest clashes stemmed from India’s efforts to build up roads on its side of the frontier, catching up to China’s effort on the other side.

There is no official border negotiated high in the Himalayas, but instead a truce established a 2,100-mile Line of Actual Control. Soldiers from India and China clashed at a point in the Galwan Valley near the Line of Actual Control on June 15.
Indian officials have claimed that China was moving farther down the Galwan River than before while China claims sovereignty over the entire valley.
Galwan Valley is not the only area of tension, China has brought up weaponry in other parts along the Line of Actual Control, including north and east of Gogra, shown in this satellite image.
