India’s ascent as a global trade magnet is reshaping international alliances, and China is actively warming to this reality. Chinese Ambassador Xu Feihong’s recent statement underscores this shift: Sino-Indian relations are elevating to novel heights of progress.
Healing from Galwan scars, top-level diplomacy triumphed with Modi-Xi talks in Tianjin. Outcomes included direct flights, renewed Chinese tourist visas, and Kailash Mansarovar access – tangible steps dissolving barriers.
At a festive Chinese New Year bash in New Delhi for the Dragon Year, Xu lauded the summit as a ‘reset button’ steering relations forward relentlessly.
He detailed booming interactions: ‘All sectors see heightened activity. Trade and economy soar to new summits; public exchanges thrive.’ Figures back this: $155.6 billion in trade, 12%+ growth, and 9.7% export surge from India to China.
The ambassador hailed it as proof of boundless cooperation prospects for Asia’s titans. Notably, China’s ‘community with shared future’ mirrors India’s ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ fostering common ground.
Xi’s Republic Day overture envisioned dragon-elephant harmony. Xu, participating in the parade, shared on X his participation glee and advocacy for collaborative neighborliness.
Previously, addressing a forum on China’s 15th Five-Year blueprint, Xu committed to practical exchanges. Emphasizing economic fortification, innovation autonomy, and openness expansion, he aligned with India’s manufacturing push: ‘We’re eager to deepen ties, broaden mutual gains for our peoples.’
This narrative of thawing tensions and burgeoning partnerships promises strategic depth to India-China dynamics in a multipolar world.
