Russia can convince China to accept the current LoAC as the International Border or at least put behind the border issue and focus on the economics.
As for the leaning part, we are non-aligned as always
Well as far as i know China has always favor putting behind the border issue behind and focussing on trade(they did the same with Japan, until Japan nationalised the islands and started the current standoff/conflict we see), but its india who is more reticent to that, which i understand since india is still quite weak economically in every aspect compared to China, so its natural it wont want to trade in a free way/allow too much chinese investment in its economy/infrastructure less it be a shame/embarassment seeing a rival dominate your economy/building your infrastructure etc.
Moreover even if China was to accept the current LOC/status quo as defacto border, will india accept it? i dont think so. since it will mean accepting china soverignty over aksai chin. Which as i explained above is impossible for any Indian government to accept, due to the reasons i mentioned. After studying Asian history/Indo-China relations, i came to a conclusion that it was all the fault of your Nehru(and my country as well who created the Macmahon line we seized fromtibet at the time) who has led you to the current situation of enmmity with China since he was the initiator of the war which India lost and has created a huge psychology fear/scar and an inferiority complex for indians towards China. So if anything its him(and to some extent Britain) that is to blame for the current situation. Dont take it personal , im just being Honest here.
As for being non aligned, i already explained it will be untenable for India in the coming decade as China grows stronger and its relations with Russia solidifies , with the U.S pressuring both countries to preserve its hegemony. Expect things to heat up to a point where you will be forced to choose sides whether you like it or not. Hope you will make the right choice this time(unlike before with the U.S.S.R).
SO it will take a century/several decades for both of you to solve your boundary issues, except if there is a revolution in India or something that dramatically changes the political landscape of the country, since its easier for China to solve the boundary issue being a one party state(and the fact that the people there dont really see India as an ennemy that much or even care, unlike they do with Japan) which makes its leader to have a more free hand to make compromises when necessary(examplified with them solving all their border issues with all their inland neighbours even with vietnam but except india).
