Recently, the foreign ministers of China and India held a high-profile meeting in Astana, Kazakhstan. The meeting not only sent a positive signal, but also planted seeds of hope for the future development of bilateral relations. As a content creator who has been following the international situation for a long time, I can't help but want to talk to you about it.
To be honest, India's change of attitude this time is a bit of a surprise. Some time ago, India "loved and ignored" China. Not only did it send only foreign ministers to attend the SCO summit, but it also sided with the Philippines on the South China Sea issue. This sudden change of attitude is really confusing.
Some people say that India is playing "two-faced" and wants to play between China and the United States. But I don't think it's that simple. India, as an "ancient civilization", must have its own small calculations. It may be realizing that in the current complex international situation, it is not wise to rely on United States alone.
The meeting between the Chinese and Indian foreign ministers can be said to be full of dry goods. The two sides not only agreed to work for stability in the border areas, but also intend to hold a new round of consultations on the border issue as soon as possible. This is good news for easing relations between the two countries.
What is even more surprising is that China's name for India has changed. It is not common to say "an outstanding representative of an ancient civilization, a large developing country and an emerging economy". It seems that China really wants to repair relations and give India enough face.
@老张说事: "Is this India trying to curry favor with both ends again?" The front foot just eyebrows with the United States, and the back foot shows favor with China, what a slippery head! ＂
I think what Lao Zhang said makes sense, but you can't beat it to death with a stick. How can the relationship between countries be so simple? India, as a big country, must consider its own interests. It may realize that relying on United States alone will not solve all problems, so it wants to improve relations with China. Although this approach is a bit "slippery", it is also in the national interest.
@小李观天下: "I think India scared!" China is now so strong, India will not show goodwill, I am afraid that it will suffer losses! ＂
While China is indeed growing rapidly, India is not vegetarian either. It's the fifth largest economy in the world! I think India's overture this time is more out of strategic considerations than "fear". The relationship between the two major countries requires mutual respect and common development.
@India Tonga San: "As someone who often travels to India, I think Indians are actually quite friendly. I hope that the relationship between the two countries can get better and better, so that it will be convenient for me to travel on business! ＂
Indeed, people-to-people exchanges are important for the promotion of state-to-state relations. If relations between the two countries improve, it will be convenient not only for those who are on business trips, but also for ordinary people. For example, we may be able to eat cheaper India curry!
@国际政治爱好者: "I think this meeting is of great significance. If the two ancient civilizations can live in peace, it will be a good thing for the whole of Asia. ＂
This netizen makes a lot of sense. China and India are both populous countries, and if they can coexist peacefully, they can indeed contribute to peace in Asia and the world at large. However, to achieve this goal, both sides need to continue to work hard to resolve their differences.
@经济学小白: "The improvement of Sino-Indian relations is good for the economies of both countries, right?" Hope to buy more cheap India goods in the future! ＂
Indeed, if Sino-Indian relations improve, economic cooperation between the two countries may be strengthened, which is a good thing for ordinary consumers. However, we must also look at it rationally, after all, there are still some differences between the two countries, and the road to economic cooperation may not be smooth sailing.
Looking back at the meeting between the Chinese and Indian foreign ministers, we see hope for the improvement of relations between the two countries. However, we must also be soberly aware that there are still some problems between China and India, especially the border dispute. These problems will not be solved overnight.
However, I think that as long as both sides maintain communication and respect each other, they will definitely find a solution to the problem. After all, China and India are both big countries with a long history of civilization, and they have the wisdom and ability to handle their relations well.
As ordinary people, we may not be able to directly influence national policies, but we can make our own contribution to promoting people-to-people exchanges between the two countries. For example, we can learn more about India culture or communicate more with India friends. Perhaps, a small gesture of yours can contribute to the relationship between the two countries!
In closing, I would like to say that international relations are complex and we cannot look at them in black and white. The improvement of Sino-Indian relations is a good thing, but it also takes time and patience. Let us look forward to the two ancient civilizations working together to create a better future!
