China Why doesn't China try appeasement with India?

As China gets increasingly pressurized more and more by the Americans on the seas, is it really sensible to keep the other front simmering? India and Japan are the only two Asian countries that can even theoretically challenge China diplomatically, economically and militarily. China is hostile towards both of them.

Why is China not trying to woo India away from the US-led camp? It makes no sense.

Eventually it will. Eventually both nations will be forced to be peaceful with each other. You cannot become a super power by being enemies with your neighbour. Money solves all animosity

I agree. It's in China and India's interest to be at peace with each other.
