When China says it will not meddle on the Kashmir issue because it is a bilateral issue and ought to be resolved by both India and Pakistan, it is lying in part.  Yes it is a bilateral issue but it is lying that it is not meddling in this affair..  Because China is already meddling in the Kashmir issue by developing CPEC project.  This project passes through the integral part of Kashmir which in turn is part and parcel of India.  India has made a right decision of not attending RCEP meeting to be help by China along with other nations.  The other step India can take is to declare Balochistan a separate country - separate from Pakistan, and help Balochs to defend Balochistan along with the CPEC project.  The benefit of CPEC should go to the local people and not basically the Panjab Province of Pakistan.  For decades, Balochs are being deprived of all the revenues coming out of the naturally mineral rich area.  They are being exploited by the ruthless behavior of Pakistani military establishment, and it is about time that India, USA and Israel declare Balochistan as a separate nation, because it is an occupied land by the Pakistani government.  China is not helping India in any way, shape and form.  Hence, India does not have to show China any olive branch to appease them.
