Indian media reported that the Chinese embassy in New Delhi spokesperson agreed with an editorial in The Hindu, stating "India's sovereignty is not up for negotiation," "India's foreign policy choices cannot be manipulated by other countries," and also said that China supports India against Trump's 50% tariff. This interpretation by Indian media immediately caused a sensation on Indian social media, with some people exclaiming that it was "rare," while others doubted China's motives, saying that China might be using India to counter the United States, because "China does not support India's sovereignty in border disputes." However, some people were happy about it, such as Madhuukar Khemka, a businessman from New Delhi, who said, "Trump has facilitated a truce between India and China; he should win the Nobel Prize."
Due to the deterioration of relations with Trump, Prime Minister Modi felt that he had no friends in Europe, and he is currently seeking external support. In addition to Russian President Putin and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visiting New Delhi, Iranian media called India "a brother." Modi had a one-hour phone call with the Brazilian president, expressing the intention to "deepen the India-Brazil strategic partnership." All these have enhanced India's confidence. However, to put it another way, the main tone of The Hindu's editorial is that India will not accept the US tariff threats and will continue to purchase Russian oil. Due to the historical grievances between China and India, China's support for this editorial gave Indian media an opportunity to "magnify" the effect.
