Doklam border standoff: The summer-long Himalayan impasse between China and India has quietly ended without any loss of face, Kenny Hodgart writes. The tensions began on June 16 when Chinese soldiers, convinced they were on Chinese territory, found their attempts to extend a road at Doklam, near the tri-junction between India, Bhutan and China, thwarted by Indian soldiers.
