This new diplomatic activity has been revealed in changing generous political situation, especially after Trump’s ‘Tariff War’. In such a situation, let us know how the Chinese media is watching Prime Minister Modi’s visit.

China new diplomatic activity in India relations
In the last five years, relations between India and China have been tense, but in recent times, both countries are talking to resolve their issues. China’s official newspaper ‘China Daily’ described this journey as a preparation for Modi to give a new momentum in India China relations. It was written in the newspaper that the cooperation with China is important for India amidst the US unilateral tariff policies and increasing pressure on free trade.

America’s tariff and India’s strategic autonomy
China Daily wrote that after the tariff policies of America, India felt how important it is to maintain its strategic autonomy. India was trapped in the US amidst the tariff pressure due to failure to stop oil procurement from Russia.

Cooperation and opportunities from China’s perspective
The newspaper suggested that India should be seen not as a rival or danger but as a partner. Researcher Arjun Chatterjee of Hong Kong Baptist University wrote that the agreement on connectivity, people coming, non -farming trade and environmental partnership at the Tianjin Summit can increase practical cooperation between the two countries.

Business tension between India and America
According to government news agency Xinhua, the US imposed an additional 25% ‘penalty tariff’ on Indian exports from August 27, causing a total tariff to 50% on India. Prime Minister Modi said that the interests of small businessmen, farmers and cattle ranchers will be protected and India will face any pressure.

India’s balanced foreign policy
The nationalist trend website ‘Guchan’ said that India wants to increase its bargaining capacity with America by improving relations with China. Modi has been trying to balance the policy leaning towards America since last year, while India is part of both SCO and Quad and is not fully tied with any one group.
