Under border agreements, China and India can't use guns near their frontier, so they fight with rocks, clubs, rods, and fists.

Under border agreements, China and India can't use guns near their frontier, so they fight with rocks, clubs, rods, and fists.
What would they be fighting over?
The sole purpose of these fights is stroking the fragile egos of their respective leaders.
Land the British promised to both of us. To be fair, it has been around 80 years since and at this point we should be settling our differences and planning a joint invasion of England.
Invading the ~~ancestors~~ descendants of wage slaves whose dead imperial overlords drew some maps is almost as dumb as fighting over those maps.
Modern China and India have their own homegrown oligarchies exercising levels of oppression that put the British imperials to shame.
Do you mean descendants? Also the British Empire still exists.
Also in existence are the Chinese and Indian oligarchies currently oppressing over a billion people. Not to mention fighting over a meaningless dumb border.
China seems to have found a solution to the oligarchy problem, but our politicians are too weak to follow it. Agreed about it being time to settle our differences and plan a joint invasion of England, though.
China has more billionaires than we do and complete dictatorial control over a population that has zero civil rights.
It's the richest country in the world. Also, this is anecdotal, but I felt freer and safer in China than in the handful of other countries I've been to, and even certain parts of my own country. If there is dictatorial control, it must be very subtle.
