India and China share a complex relationship marked by both cooperation and competition. They are two of the most populous countries in the world and have significant economic ties, with trade between them growing over the years. However, historical border disputes, particularly in the Himalayas, have led to tensions and military confrontations. In recent years, both nations have engaged in diplomatic dialogues to manage their differences. Despite their rivalry, they also collaborate on global issues such as climate change and economic development through platforms like the BRICS group, which includes Brazil and South Africa.
