China then withdrew to the current border but it still claims much of the remote Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, and the dispute consistently sours efforts to improve ties between the regional rivals.

“The current road has undergone deep and profound changes,” China's foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said while remarking on the war's anniversary.
