If they wanted to have an amicable agreement, China could keep Aksai China and India could keep at least most of Arunachal Pradesh. I actually don't know what the geography of the disputed AP territory is but Aksai Chin is useful for China because it connects Tibet to Xinjiang.
China already essentially made that offer, but it was rejected by the Indian side.

Although, the Indian claim the offer was never made.
So hopefully, fingers crossed, this finally gets agreed upon as it's clearly the best solution.
If Pakistan had Imran khan and India had kinda Lula like figure the problem of Kashmir and Laddakh would have been solved in a month. Its pretty easy make Kashmir a joint administered region and make the LOC , the true border between India and China, Case closed forever.
That would be sensible, we'll see what they end up settling on.
