In October 2024, India and China resolved a border flareup that began in 2020 during the height of the pandemic.

It was a significant moment for Asian stability, especially as North Koreaโ€™s decision to enter the Ukraine war on Russia's side rattled the region. The rapprochement came on the eve of the BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia, signaling that BRICS was indirectly prodding nations to patch over differences.

However, three months later, the โ€œnew chapterโ€ of India-China relations has entered a tense moment.

In December 2024, China approved a new super dam in Tibet, what Beijing refers to as the โ€œMotuo Hydropower Station.โ€ Once operational, it will be the largest dam in the world, a title that China already holds with the infamous โ€œThree Gorges Dam.โ€
