India
and China Bilateral Relations are also known as Indo-Chinese relations or
Sino- Indian relations. Historically, China and India had peaceful relations
for last thousand of years. After the rule of communist party in China, both
the nations have sought economic cooperation with each other.

India and China Relations
Relation between the two countries have been
characterised by border disputes and laid into three military conflicts: -
- Sino-Indian War of 1962
- Sino-Indian war of 1967
- and the 1987 Sino-Indian skirmish
In 2017, India-China clashed at the Doklam
plateau along the disputed Sino- Bhutanese border
In 2008, China became India’s biggest trading
partner. Accordingly, both the countries have extended their military and strategic
relations.
In June 2020, Indian and Chinese soldiers faced
each other on the western border known as the Galwan river valley.
Despite increasing strategic and economic ties
between the India and China Relations there are lots of hurdles for
India. India faces trade imbalance massively in favour of China. Both the
countries fail to resolve their border issues.
However, if India and China both the countries
address the intrinsic distrust in relations and build a healthy stronger
understanding of the other’s international position, then somewhere it may
allow for a level of cooperation among the two. If both the nations develop
this understanding then there will exist cooperation among the Sino-Indian rivalry.
China’s economic downturn has opened new strategic place for India in Southeast Asia. China and India relations have now entered into an unpredictable situation.
