China : Chinese state-run media outlet Global Times, a known mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has welcomed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent remarks on China during his appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast. The publication described Modi’s stance as “pragmatic,” suggesting that it could mark a “stable and healthy turn” in India-China relations.
During the podcast, Modi emphasized the importance of maintaining diplomatic engagement with China, even amid past tensions. He underscored the necessity of cooperation between the two nations, given their economic and geopolitical significance in the global order. His comments appear to have been well-received in Beijing, with Chinese media interpreting them as a willingness to foster improved ties.
China’s Strategic Shift Amid U.S. Trade War
Analysts believe China’s positive response to Modi’s statements is part of a broader strategy to strengthen relations with India, especially in light of ongoing trade tensions with the United States. Since Washington imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, Beijing has been seeking alternative economic partnerships, and India’s growing economic and technological influence makes it a key player in the region.
The recent visit of India’s National Security Advisor, NS Dalal, to China has also contributed to a thaw in relations. One significant outcome of these talks was China’s decision to allow Indian pilgrims to travel to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar, a move seen as a goodwill gesture.
Future of India-China Relations
While border tensions and geopolitical rivalries remain unresolved, the Chinese leadership’s warm reception of Modi’s remarks signals a potential shift towards diplomatic engagement. With China facing increasing pressure from the U.S. in its trade policies, experts suggest that Beijing is now prioritizing a more constructive relationship with India.
It remains to be seen how these developments will translate into concrete policy changes, but for now, both nations appear to be exploring a more pragmatic approach to their complex relationship.
