#1 India and China will have to consider giving up their respective claims."

Here is where there will be political problems in India with any settlement.

India doesn't claim Chinese territory. What it claims is territory that was Indian until the 1962 war with China when it was taken.

Chinese claim parts of three Indian states. They also don't recognize the accession of Sikkim to the Indian Union.

So India will be giving up claim to territory that was seized in 1962 in return for China giving up claim to territory historically part of the British Raj and now part of the Indian Union.

There is no give and take here. China just takes. Only India Gives.
