Ordinary Indians and Chinese know very little about each other, which is a pity. At government to government level, that is not a constraint. Both sides are fantastically well informed about each other. Intentions and capabilities, although defence matters are only one segment of the complex relationship. In one sense, most respectfully, there is not much to discuss at senior levels. No Eureka moment of great revelation. 2. If there is a sincere effort on both sides, a dramatic improvement in the relationship is possible. The sole exception being a final settlement of the boundary question. Both governments would balk at the compromises that entails. So the more pragmatic path would be to resolve not to allow soldiers to lose their lives in combat situations along the LAC for the next 45 years. Safe patrolling protocols that both armies adhere to.
