We have seen that since the intensification of the epidemic in India, China's assistance efforts have continued to increase and accelerate.
In the middle, there was a phenomenon that the officials did not expect, that is, the people of the two countries had different views on help and support that I did not expect.
In the past few days, I have paid special attention to the tweets of Sun Weidong, the Chinese ambassador to India, which is the most direct window to understand China's help.
Ambassador Sun has also used video many times in the past few days to more intuitively introduce the latest help provided by China to the Indian people.
For example, in the latest video, Ambassador Sun said, "During the May Day holiday, workers of Chinese oxygen machine manufacturers are working overtime to produce and package, and these oxygen generators will soon be shipped to India."
In the picture, the workers of the Chinese manufacturer are skillfully operating in dress in line with the epidemic prevention norms, in the hope that the Indian people can know that the life-saving equipment is on the road before the oxygen concentrator has arrived, and it comes from a Chinese manufacturer with good operating standards.
The public diplomacy of Chinese diplomats on Twitter is not facing Indian diplomats, but the most ordinary netizens.
In addition to the continuous delivery of anti-epidemic materials to India, the efforts of China's diplomacy on social platforms have gradually entered a better situation.
For example, there is a Bollywood actor Sonu Sud who "asks for help" from the Chinese side on Twitter.
The actor said, "We are trying to ship hundreds of oxygen concentrators to India. It must be regretted that many of our goods have been blocked in China. And in India, we are losing our lives every minute. I ask the Chinese Ambassador to India and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help clear our goods so that we can save lives."
A few hours later, Sun Weidong, the Chinese ambassador to India, responded, "Mr. Sud, I have noticed the content of your tweet. China will do its utmost to support India in fighting the epidemic. As far as I know, the cargo route from China to India is operating normally. In the past two weeks, a total of 61 cargo flights have flown from China to India."
Ambassador Sun said: "We have provided India with customs clearance and transportation facilities for transporting medical supplies from Chinese cities. We will continue to ensure the smooth flow of material exports to India. ”
Ambassador Sun also posted an embassy mailbox on Twitter, "If you have any problems, please let us know and email the mailbox so that we can do our best to help."
Ambassador Sun said, "Our neighbors and partners. China's actions speak louder than words. We are moving forward. You and all your friends are welcome to follow my Twitter feed to see how the update is progressing. I wish you all the best! ”
"China has a tradition of helping each other in times of difficulty. We are always willing to lend a helping hand."
If Indians don't understand the ancient road hot sausages of Chinese, they should understand when they see these urgent supplies.
It is undeniable that under Ambassador Sun's twitter, there are also some stubborn Indian netizens who have negative views on China's help.
I think that hearts and minds are connected, and that the best way to respond to those who have ulterior motives in India is to act, especially on Labor Day.
So, some Indian netizens said, "Despite the tensions last year, China has performed well in this regard and has won a good reputation by providing help." Every country needs a reliable neighbor in difficult times".
The understanding of this Indian netizen, in Chinese terms, is to think of danger in times of peace, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
It is undeniable that Chinese netizens also have different views on their own efforts to help India.
I understand this emotional venting very well, and as a Chinese, anyone who is a little bloody knows what India has done to China over the past few decades.
However, Chinese will not take advantage of others, this is not a tradition, it is a value that is despised.
There is a question of the pattern of personal sentiment and national mission.
China's help to India should not be understood as "farmer and snake", and China is not "Mr. Dongguo".
The latest condolence telegram from the highest level in China expressed sincere condolences, saying that "mankind is a community of common destiny, and only through unity and cooperation can all countries in the world finally defeat the epidemic."
Even when India is in trouble, the Chinese side not only did not dislike it, but also expressed its desire to strengthen anti-epidemic cooperation with India.
The physical conflict between the Sino-Indian border and the Galwan Valley is indeed a fact, but the Chinese side has constructively proposed that the border issue should be placed in a suitable position, not the whole of Sino-Indian relations, let alone the overall situation of the relations between the two countries.
A considerable part of the sentiments of netizens in the two countries may come from the unhappiness on the border, but is it because of these disputes and differences that they will not interact with each other?
Where there is danger, the wind, frost, snow, rain and rapids, Chinese understand the big truth.
From the perspective of epidemic prevention, there is no such thing as being alone.
An India that is jealous of China will not benefit us at all, but will only be used and co-opted by the United States and other foreign forces
The last person to see China come to the rescue must be India, but the United States.
In China's diplomatic layout, "big countries are the key, neighbors are the first, developing countries are the foundation, and multilateralism is the stage."
India is not only a regional power, but also a neighbor of China, but also one of the representatives of developing countries, and China has also had many interactions on the multilateral stage.
Therefore, India alone occupies almost all the elements of the contemporary Chinese diplomatic layout, and there is no reason not to build and maintain Sino-Indian relations.
Sincerely, the golden stone is open.
China and India cannot be separated and cannot be moved.
The improvement of relations between the two countries and the change of people's understanding can only start from a little bit, and continuous action must be a catalyst.
