India and China: In the larger context despite having differences on both legacy and contemporary issues the two countries have been able to maintain a reasonable balance and avoided differences becoming into disputes.
There is a realistic appraisal of the potential by both sides in terms of extension of power thus a pull back is evident from the edge from time to time, be it in the case of the Doklam incident of 2017 or a number of standoffs on the India China Line of Actual Control (LAC) from time to time.
