Give India some power and they think they are the CEO
And China builds a few cities and the non-existent power goes to their head.
Better stick to the topic.
Bottom line, Chinese market has stagnated and their goods need new markets to sell to. They know it, you know it and each and every country knows it. Countries that have good relations with China will go to this meeting for optics.
India does not need to go because India knows this so called is a one way road, from China to other countries and nothing goes into China.
Japan & US attended. So what? If any chinese seriously think they will ever have normal relations with Japan or US, then they are seriously deluded. All three of you are competitors and have territorial issues.
