China and India, as the world's two most populous countries and two major developing countries with global influence, have established diplomatic relations for over 70 years. The development of their relationship has been featured by conflict and cooperation, mainly subject to the three factors: border conflicts, geopolitical competition, and great power games. In recent years, Sino-Indian relations have almost reached a point of rupture, with India seeing China as the biggest security threat. India has also abandoned its long-standing diplomacy of non-alignment and got entangled in the US Indo-Pacific strategy. However, China remains India's largest trading partner, although India has long grumbled about its growing and remarkable trade deficit with China. In the long run, China and India are neither friend nor foe.
