PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held bilateral talks on Wednesday on the sidelines of the BRICS summit. This was the first time in the last five years that the leaders of India and China sat together at a table for bilateral talks.
This conversation between India and China is a big diplomatic victory for India. Or it would not be wrong to say that China was somewhat compelled to hold bilateral talks with India. Experts are also considering the conversation between India and China as the result of the siege of the Modi government which was done on various international platforms in the last few months. Let us explain to you today the chronology due to which China seemed eager to hold talks with India.
India ignored on the international platform
If China looked ready to talk to India after five years, then the biggest reason behind this was India’s diplomatic move, in front of which China was defeated. In fact, in the last few months or rather in the last one year, India has surrounded China from Quad to ASEAN and other international platforms and criticized its expansionist policies. Along with this, not only opposed its policies itself but also got it criticized by other countries. Due to this strategy of India, China started getting isolated in the international community. China felt that if things were not corrected in time, then it would have to suffer the consequences on a large scale.
China is worried about its economy being affected
Whether China accepts it publicly or not, the truth is that for some time now, India’s siege has affected China’s economy as well. The way India has given a piece of its mind to China on various platforms, China is looking isolated. And it is also facing the loss of its aggressive image in trade. For some time now, China’s economy has been suffering from slow growth rate, rising unemployment and real estate crisis. China’s economy, which is the world’s second largest economy, has been going through a bad economic condition for some time now. This decline started from last year itself. Which is continuing this year as well. In such a situation, China is facing the displeasure of other countries including India.
From Quad to ASEAN, when India gave a piece of its mind to China
PM Modi attended the Quad summit during his US visit last month. His visit proved to be special for India in many ways. On this visit, while PM Modi completed many important defense deals, he also gave a direct message to China in gestures. During this conference, India has surrounded China from all sides. This was the reason that during this conference, all the leaders also expressed their serious concern about the activities that forcibly created fear in the South China Sea. India also gave a piece of its mind to China in the ASEAN conference. India criticized China’s expansionist policy in the ASEAN conference and talked about establishing peace with neighboring countries.
S Jaishankar also gave a blunt reply to China
Foreign Minister S Jaishankar had given a blunt reply to Pakistan and China in the past. Addressing the SCO meeting, S Jaishankar had said that if cross-border activities are based on the three evils of terrorism, extremism and separatism, then cooperation in areas like trade, energy and connectivity is unlikely to increase. Jaishankar further said that there is a need to introspect whether the spirit of good neighbor is missing and there is a lack of trust. He said that territorial integrity and sovereignty should be recognized in trade and connectivity initiatives and it is necessary to have an “honest dialogue” on the lack of trust.
