China should allow its citizens staying along the border to trade with Indians through Arunachal Pradesh, which China claims to be part of south Tibet, a legislator has proposed, adding that an increase in cross-border trade could benefit locals, reduce hostility between the two militaries and improve bilateral ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
