India says it has lodged a “strong protest” with China over a new map that lays claim to its territory.
Indian media have reported that the map shows the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and the disputed Aksai Chin plateau as China’s territory.
One of the more prescient (or maybe just well researched) parts of Neal Stephenson’s latest book (the uneven but very “Stephenson” Termination Shock) was the low intensity, gun-free warfare along the Indian-Chinese border, including younger types turning it into a flashy and stylized social media thing, not unlike some of the Ukrainian units today in their very real shooting war.
