Only 1 to 2 percent of border incidents between 20 had received any form of media coverage. Since the 1980s, there have been over 50 rounds of talks between the two countries related to these border issues. The Chinese version of the LAC mostly consists of claims in the Ladakh region, but China also claims Arunachal Pradesh in northeast India.

China has also extensively developed its infrastructure in these disputed border regions and is continuing to do so.
