Challenges
Over five years after a deadly clash in the Himalayas left dozens dead, tensions between China and India remain as the two countries publicly seek de-escalation (Atlantic Council, CNBC TV18, CNN). A lethal confrontation is one that results in at least one fatality (total, not each) for the national military forces, militia, and/or law enforcement of either side. The confrontation and the fatality must both occur during the question's open period to count.
