What We're Tracking A trilateral India-China-Russia foreign ministerial meeting. The June 23 meeting comes in the wake of deadly clashes between Chinese and Indian troops along their shared Himalayan border. The incident in Ladakh that left at least 20 Indian soldiers and unconfirmed numbers of Chinese personnel dead was the worst in six decades, and risks triggering broader tensions. The past few days, however, have seen signs of deescalation, with China reportedly releasing Indians detained in the fighting and India agreeing to attend the trilateral summit. While China can control its domestic political scene to maintain a measured course, much will depend on whether India can do the same — and whether, as the weaker party, it can manage to convince China to ease back on some of its incremental gains along the border. The factors driving broader tensions remain in place, raising the possibility of more flare-ups.
