India and China are two nuclear powers that, between them, are home to almost a third of the world’s population. As neighboring countries, however, the two powers have a longstanding disagreement on where their borders lie, exactly – which has led to ongoing military clashes, which are growing more and more tense. What is the historical and political reason for this conflict and what are the reasons for this potential escalation today? Given the dimensions and relevance of China and India, what are potential risks for the global order and Brazil, specifically? Furthermore, what implications are there/would there be for cooperation within BRICS and in the G20?
