Indian media is eager to announce a good news, saying that China has agreed to three things, and India no longer needs to worry about rare earths? What's the story behind this?

Recently, Foreign Minister Wang Yi has arrived in India and met with Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar. For this hard-won China-India meeting, Indian media has paid high attention.

After all, Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to India comes at a time when India is facing the pressure of high tariffs from the United States.

And after this China-India foreign ministers' meeting, Indian media couldn't help but comment: In the context of Trump's "tariff war", China has clearly told India, "unilateral bullying actions are becoming rampant."

Subsequently, Indian media such as The Hindustan Times quickly announced a piece of good news for India, stating that China has agreed to resolve India's three concerns: fertilizers, rare earths, and tunnel boring machines. The significance of this is self-evident.

From India's actual needs, these issues indeed touch on the vital points of its development.

Notably, on the same day, a reporter asked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference: Has China lifted the restrictions on rare earth exports to India?

For this, our spokesperson's response did not directly confirm, but it released a positive signal, emphasizing that China always conducts rare earth trade in accordance with international rules and market principles, and is willing to strengthen industrial chain cooperation with countries including India.

It should be noted that since China imposed strict controls on rare earth exports, it once caused Indian companies to feel "anxious", frequently calling for Chinese rare earths.

If the Indian media's information is true, on one hand, this reflects China's proactive diplomacy and the responsibility of a major power.

At a time when India is facing U.S. unilateral bullying, China clearly pointed out that current unilateral bullying actions are increasingly rampant, and free trade and the international order are facing serious challenges.

This is not only a criticism of U.S. actions, but also a statement by China to India that it is willing to work together to maintain the international order, making India feel China's sincerity.

This also breaks the "self-deception" thinking of some people in India, making them face up to the important position that China has in the global economy and trade.

On the other hand, this is an important opportunity for the development of China-India relations.

For a long time, China-India relations have had ups and downs due to border issues, but both sides also have extensive common interests, and bilateral trade scale is huge. China has long been one of India's largest trading partners.

This positive response from China provides new momentum for the further easing and development of China-India relations.

Additionally, according to Indian media reports, Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar emphasized that India's position on the Taiwan issue has not changed. The key is to see what actions are taken; the value of this commitment is already clear.

However, we also need to rationally view this situation. Although China-India relations currently show a positive trend, the improvement of China-India relations still has instability.

After all, under the background of Trump imposing high tariffs on India, the Modi government has had to re-examine its foreign policy and seek to improve relations with China to alleviate domestic economic and political dual crises.

To a large extent, the Modi government's foreign policy decisions are more based on current interests rather than long-term strategic considerations.

If the external interest pattern changes, China-India relations may again be hit, which means that China-India relations currently have a certain degree of fragility.

Nevertheless, if, as reported by Indian media, China has agreed to resolve India's three concerns, this is a positive signal for the development of China-India relations, and also shows China's sincerity, willing to give India an opportunity.

However, if India takes any "small moves" later, China has the right to reclaim it at any time.
