Yeah, in order for there to be a negotiated settlement the Indian side has to be willing to deviate from its position of "We get everything we want and you get nothing you want" that its assumed to chase votes. China does have a recent track record of resolving pointless border disputes like the long-running one with Russia back in the 1990s. Both sides just have to come to the table and be reasonable about it, but that's not likely to happen if the Indian media keep claiming that the Indian Army killed 900 trillion PLA soldiers in 2020.
