China Daily: The improvement of China-India relations has nothing to do with the pressure from the United States!
China Daily's editorial on Thursday pointed out that the beginning of the improvement in China-India relations is not related to Washington's tariff pressure on New Delhi, but rather a conscious choice of both countries.
"The improvement of China-India relations should not be seen merely as a result of the US imposing tariff pressure, but rather as a conscious choice made by both sides for their common interests. New Delhi knows that the series of reckless and restrictive measures it took against China in trade, investment, and international exchanges since 2020 have harmed both India and China. It is a pleasure to see that India is stepping up efforts to restore communication and cooperation with its neighboring country."
"Development is the most important common goal. China and India have no reason to let border issues hinder mutually beneficial cooperation. Therefore, it is important for India to accept the Chinese position that has been consistently upheld for a long time, that the two countries are opportunities rather than threats to each other, partners rather than competitors. Maintaining a correct strategic understanding of China is essential for India to move closer to Beijing, so they can achieve the common goal of keeping China-India relations on the right track. In this way, the two neighbors can avoid being divided by a third party. For this purpose, New Delhi must ensure consistency in its policy towards China."
