China and India are trying to fix their relationship. They had a big fight in 2020. Now, they are talking again. China's foreign minister is in India. He is meeting with India's top security advisor and the prime minister.
The talks are about the border between the two countries. Both sides say things are quiet now. They want to keep it that way. They also talked about trade. India needs some special things from China. These are called rare earths. China said they will help India get these.
But is China really helping? It is not clear. China has promised to help other countries before. But they did not do much. India has some rare earths too. But they do not make magnets. They have to buy them from China.
India is the fifth biggest country with rare earths. But they do not use them much. They buy magnets from China. This is a problem. If China stops selling, India will have trouble.
The talks are important. But will they change anything? Only time will tell. Both countries want peace. But they also want to trade. It is a tricky situation.
