Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Sunday, met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in China's Tianjin. The two leaders held a nearly an hour-long meeting, underscoring efforts to strengthen bilateral ties after years of border tensions.
During the talks, PM Modi said, “Last year in Kazan, we had very fruitful discussions which gave a positive direction to our relations. After the disengagement on the border, an atmosphere of peace and stability has been created.”

Chinese President said, “China and India are two ancient civilisations in the East. We are the world's two most populous countries, and we are also important members of the Global South. We both shoulder the historical responsibility of improving the well-being of our two peoples, promoting the solidarity and rejuvenation of developing countries, and promoting the progress of human society.”
Stay away fom china, USA is not grabbed 4000) f*%king sqare kilometres of indian land with force but china did.
Indeed, but usa is more involved in being a threat to our democracy, manipulating elections.
They are a bigger threat than china can ever be.
There's no love lost for China lol. It's just politics at international level.
While caution is the name of the game and being skeptical is fine, posts like these are overly harsh. This lady works for a think tank, so she has her own set of interests. I do not agree with these terminology as well. She is putting out her views based on her own set of inputs and past experiences. Politics and Geopolitics is fluid and being too emotional or agenda driven is never too good.
However, plenty of pro-west lobbyists are indeed having difficulties digesting certain statements coming out of the SCO. There was bound to be a meeting as the NSA had been working on this since the past year.

Some are knowingly critics.. they will find faults or create one by clever use of words no matter what govt does.
If govt would've don't what they suggest now, then they would've criticised that move saying it's time to hedge.
Most of the criticism is based on hypothesis and own predictions.. But same fail to predict their own trajectory
US and China work in tandem. They are allies. The sooner you realise this the better.
US and China are in economic competition for now.
India and China will restart direct flights between designated cities this month, ending a suspension of more than five years, in a move that signals a cautious easing of bilateral tensions, India's foreign ministry said on Thursday. There have been no direct flights between China and India since 2020, even though China is India's biggest bilateral trade partner.

Some one needs to do brain scan all the personalas in EAM to find out what portion of their brain made them to take the decision to drope US in favour of sco summit.
- India’s Foreign Policy Approach: India is purposely maintaining flexibility—leveraging its relationships with the US, China, and BRICS, but committing to none. Its overarching aim is to protect its autonomy and maximize self-interest in a world where bloc politics are returning but alliances are more fluid and transactional than before.
- BRICS and the Global South: India sees BRICS not just as an economic bloc, but as a platform to expand its influence among non-Western countries, pushing for multipolarity. However, skepticism remains about BRICS’ immediate economic impact and its ability to replace Western financial systems.
- US-India Relationship Shift: Once seen as a natural and “limitless” partnership (driven by shared interests such as balancing China), the US-India relationship is now facing obstacles including tariffs, H-1B visa restrictions, and differing economic priorities. The trajectory has changed, and ceilings have appeared where there were none.
- Technology and Strategic Autonomy: India is seeking to reduce dependence on the West in critical technology sectors like semiconductors and AI, investing in indigenous innovation. But for now, it still relies on US technology partnerships, meaning friction with the US could force India to reconsider relationships with countries like Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.
- Geopolitical Balancing and Non-Alignment: India is amplifying its traditional non-alignment policy, now rebranded as economic sovereignty, to remain uncommitted to any single bloc and work with all—Asia, the EU, Africa, and the Middle East—while pursuing mutually beneficial trade and security ties.
- Changes in the Regional Order: Events like a possible Saudi-Pakistan defense pact, and Japan’s investment in India, are shifting the security and economic landscape in South Asia. India needs to navigate these changes while facing a less united “West” and growing pressure to pick sides.
- Potential Scenarios on Taiwan: If China escalates over Taiwan, India’s reaction will hinge on self-interest—not ideology or alliance commitments. It is unlikely, according to the discussion, that India would get militarily involved if its economic dependence on China deepens or if US-India ties weaken further.
- Future Outlook: The Indo-US relationship is entering an uncertain phase. While not “pessimistic,” the experts argue for a “realist” assessment: the relationship now has limits and requires enormous effort on both sides to regain momentum. The world order ahead could be more multipolar, competitive, and focused on national self-interest rather than ideological alignment.
Summarized using Perplexity. A decent watch if you find time. The speaker talks about both China-India-U.S dynamics and the strategy that India might use.
India's exports to China surged about 22% in the first half of 2025-26 compared to the first half of FY25.
Ask your master to stop trade war. Or better ask Congress to go back in time and not neglect border infra.
Always seeing how militarised Chinese side is but neglecting our own past and recent improvement.
