What was the 2020 India-China border standoff?

The 2020 India-China border standoff was a prolonged military confrontation along multiple points of the Line of Actual Control (LAC), particularly in eastern Ladakh near the Galwan river valley, Pangong Tso, Gogra, and Hot Springs. Both countries accused each other of incursions and infrastructure construction in disputed areas. Violent clashes during the standoff left several soldiers from both sides dead or injured. Military and diplomatic talks between 2021 and 2024 led to the disengagement of Indian and Chinese troops from disputed areas.
