I s PM Modi China visit 2025 is Successful Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China from August 30 to September 1, 2025, marked his first trip to the country in seven years, primarily to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin.

Chinese Occupation of Indian land after 2014 Estimates of additional land where India lost effective patrolling access or grazing rights post-2020 vary: Some reports cite around 1,000–2,000 sq km of India-claimed territory affected (e.g., through buffer zones, denied patrols in Depsang, Pangong Tso north bank, Gogra-Hot Springs, etc.). Other figures mention smaller immediate captures (e.g., 60–65 sq km in specific sectors in mid-2020). These are not outright annexations like 1962 but reflect de facto changes in control via military presence, infrastructure buildup (roads, bridges, villages), and restrictions on Indian patrols/civilians.
