All Ganesh: India China Merge

Why a Merge is Highly Unlikely:

Border Disputes: Ongoing conflicts over Himalayan territories (Aksai Chin, Arunachal Pradesh) create significant mistrust, according to a Medium article by Ganesh C Prasad.
Political Systems: India is a democratic republic, while China is a one-party communist state, representing fundamentally different governance models, notes ThinkChina.
Strategic Competition: Both nations vie for influence in Asia, with China favoring a single-pole order and India seeking a multipolar world, states Wikipedia.
National Sovereignty: Both are large, proud nations with distinct identities, making unification a complex, almost impossible proposition.

Areas of Cooperation & Potential :

Economics: Despite political tensions, they are important trading partners, with recent efforts to boost trade and resume flights, reports Highland Post.
Multilateral Forums: They cooperate in organizations like BRICS, SCO, and G20, notes Gateway House.
