"China, India Should View Each Other As Partners, Not Threats": Wang Yi To S Jaishankar

Relations between China and India are on a “positive trend” towards cooperation, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Indian counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, in New Delhi, according to a readout of the meeting published Tuesday.

The world’s two most populous nations are intense rivals competing for influence across South Asia, and fought a deadly border clash in 2020.

India is also part of the Quad security alliance with the United States, Australia and Japan, which is seen as a counter to China. But caught in global trade and geopolitical turbulence triggered by US President Donald Trump’s tariff war, the countries have moved to mend ties.

During talks on Monday with Mr Jaishankar, Mr Wang said the two countries should “view each other as partners and opportunities, rather than adversaries or threats”.

He pointed to the resumption of “dialogue at all levels” and “maintenance of peace and tranquility in border areas” as evidence that bilateral ties were on a “positive trend of returning to the main path of cooperation”.

Mr Wang is also expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his three-day visit.

PM Modi is likely to visit China this month, which would be his first trip since 2018.

Relations have improved since October, when PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met for the first time in five years in Russia.

Chinese and Indian officials have said in recent weeks that the two countries were discussing the resumption of border trade, which has been halted since 2020.

Its resumption would be symbolically significant, and follows discussions to resume direct flights and issue tourist visas.

The Asian people created development in Central Asia, spent huge energies which is still visible even after centuries of attempts by bandits and invaders. China rightfully owns the right to protect Central Asian heritage. India and East Asia need to fund and support archaeological projects in support of Chinese cultural history. India needs to draw a line under recent mistakes. China needs to move away from crimes against humanity and its salami sliciing policies. Those residents living in Bhutanese lands should be allowed to choose Bhutanese nationality. The PLA could move out of the border areas and allow Tibetan border security forces to replace them. Allowing Tibet to become an Asian Switzerland would bring immense wealth into Asia. India needs to share its soft powers with the rest of Asia. China needs to back Asia regain its reputation for peace goodwill and common sense. The ancient laws written by Asian powers and providing security for the Six nations that are kept in the Forbidden Palace Beijing need to be approved by all Parliaments. The Emperor of Japan needs to apologize to the Chinese people for having broken the unbreakable law previously. Ancient laws and rules need to be respected. If present Asian leaders are unable then future leaders will. We are not greedy Europeans easily conned into killing each other. We are civilized people.
