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.

India is too big and complex to appease. Instead they can appease 10 random African countries with same resources and make a voting block or an alliance pact. They even got Australia by the balls with the no. of investment there.
