      Why Should India and China Cooperate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Economic Benefits<\/strong>: India\u2019s large market can boost China\u2019s slowing economy, while China\u2019s technology can aid India\u2019s development goals.<\/li>\n
      2. Global South Unity<\/strong>: Joint efforts can help underdeveloped nations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.<\/li>\n
      3. Global Stability<\/strong>: Cooperation can address global issues like the Russia-Ukraine war and the West Asian crisis.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        What Are Immediate Steps to Build Trust?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        1. Resume Flights<\/strong>: Restart direct flights suspended during COVID-19 to increase connectivity.<\/li>\n

        3. Reinstate Journalists<\/strong>: Reverse decisions leading to the exit of journalists from both countries to improve communication.<\/li>\n
        4. Lift App Bans<\/strong>: Allow Chinese apps like WeChat, banned after the Galwan clash, to enhance digital interaction.<\/li>\n
        5. Boost Trade<\/strong>: Reduce the trade deficit by importing more from India and fostering Chinese investments, as suggested by India\u2019s Chief Economic Adviser.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          What\u2019s the Vision for 2025?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
