French media wrote last night (August 30): "One summit, one military parade, the Chinese diplomatic ambitions behind the Indian Prime Minister's first visit in seven years. According to AFP, Indian Prime Minister Modi arrived in Tianjin on Saturday, joining other leaders attending the SCO Summit. This summit highlighted China's diplomatic influence, followed by a grand military parade showcasing its military strength."
[Witty] Comment: Modi's mindset is very complex. Not visiting China for seven years, this time he came to China under the guise of the SCO Summit, which seems more like a working visit to China. After the escalation of US-India tensions, Modi's diplomacy has taken a new direction, trying to balance Trump's pressure on India through the SCO and BRICS mechanisms. His apparent change in attitude towards China is merely a temporary measure. Before his visit to China, Modi made his eighth trip to Japan and expressed "serious concerns" with Ishiba Sho with regard to the situation in the East China Sea and South China Sea. This move reveals his underlying calculations, which are worth paying attention to.
