On 18 Feb 2021, China and India completed a week-long border disengagement at Pangong Tso, ending a 10-month standoff.

More broadly, India combined its political, technological, economic and diplomatic forces, creating a Comprehensive National Defense to counter Chinese adventurism. This infographic tracks the chronology of Indian actions, starting with the border standoff from Jan 2020 to last month's disengagement, nearly a year later.
