THE NEW IMPERIAL CHINA? – Read the full article here!
Sino-Indian relations. Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sat down last week for a vital meeting to try and develop the tense relationship between these two giants. It was an important meeting, but not without its controversies. The relations between these two nations, one having the world’s largest population and the other the world’s largest democracy, have been strained for many years with disputes and suspicions concerning neighbours, borders and trade.
Modi is keen to attract investment for his ailing infrastructure, and China keen to add to their exports wherever possible. However, even as the warm smiles and handshakes were being performed for the press, the social media in China seemed remarkably aggressive. Some of the comments seemed even racist, as well as highlighting some of the territorial issues around north east India (Arunachal Pradesh) which the Chinese refer to as South Tibet (which is a bit rich!) and of course Kashmir where the West seems to have forgotten that 40% of this beautiful but disputed territory (between Pakistan and India) has been occupied by China to “look after” it (their description apparently).
