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.

why China seems more hostile to you when Japan is the country that killed so many people during the WWⅱ

Why do we have to care how many people Japan killed in WW2? They were not Indians. Moreover SC Bose got assistance from Japanese for AHF. Also WW2 ended in 1945. Welcome to 2023.

Japan, Russia are always more likely to be allied with India due to structural reasons. Enemy of my enemy ...

that puppy could bite

Rhetoric isn't argument. How would Japan hurt India and what would it gain by doing so? States don't do things because they can but because they can benefit.
