Validation of our data.

The Indian government publishes yearly numbers of border incidents (numbers of the Indo Tibetan Border Police), which are compared to the numbers reported by the media in our data. The official numbers correlate well with our data. The official numbers peaked in 2014 and again in 2019. Remarkably, the number of media reports on incursions in 2019 was very low.

印度政府每年都会发布边境事件统计数据（印度边境警察部队（Indo Tibetan Border Police）的统计数值），本数据集将该官方数据与媒体报道的相关事件数量进行比对。官方统计数值与本数据集的数据相关性良好。2014年与2019年，官方统计数值均达到峰值。值得注意的是，2019年媒体关于边境入侵事件的报道数量极低。
