Скачать или смотреть China & India's Fragile Reset: Frenemies With Benefits

After decades of tension, deadly border clashes, and a history of mistrust, India and China are suddenly warming relations in 2025. Trade routes are reopening, pilgrimages are resuming, and leaders are shaking hands; but is this a real partnership or just fragile survival tactics?

In this video, I break down the entire history of the India - China relationship: from the 1962 border war, to Tibet, to the Galwan Valley clash in 2020, and finally to today’s cautious reset.

We’ll look at the strategic, economic, and military factors driving both nations, and ask whether this thaw can really last.

India and China are two of the world’s largest nations with a long, complicated history.

Will they ever trust each other? Or is this just a cold peace that could collapse at the first border skirmish?

Watch until the end where I give my take on the best-case and worst-case scenarios, and read out some of your funniest comments.
