Abstract: Abstract Although Chinese and Indian civilizations have been living side by side for centuries, it is only recently that they have to deal with a common border that is still problematic and contested. The latest lethal confrontation of 2020 indicated that the two respective governments prefer to maintain a low-intensity conflict. Beyond the respectively claimed territories, the Sino-Indian border tension transcends the growing rivalry between India and China. Whether it is geostrategic positioning, the exploitation of water resources or territorial sacralization by a warlike supranationalism, this border seems to be becoming more and more watertight and less and less fluid. This article argues that tensions on the Sino-Indian border will last because they serve reciprocal domestic interests.
