| Summary/Abstract |
The recent violent and bloody conflict between the frontier forces of China and India have caused serious casualties, something rare in the past 45 years (see the note at the end of the article). The conflict was caused by the overlapping of old and new problems between the two countries and dramatic changes in international and regional situations. This aggravated the complicated situation on the border, seriously damaging the political mutual trust and public support between China and India. Cumulatively, all this has made future development of China-India relations a lot more uncertain.
