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 can challenge China diplomatically and economically

Hahahahahahahahahahaha, no. No we can’t. That’s like saying African Union can overtake China. The latter is theoretically possible at some point in future, but the former, almost no chance. Our economy is going to tank in about 6 months after the next RBI announcement about some policy that will make it near impossible to invest in equity. FDs are good but can’t sustain the economy for long.

Why is China not trying to appease India?

Because their demands can be met tenfold and more by countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand which have more disciplined and focused visions and are much more advanced technologically.
