"Elephant, Dragon Must Dance Together": Chinese Ambassador On India-China Ties

[Zapper]

Chinese ambassador to India Sun Weidong on Sunday said the relations between the two neighbours have entered a "sound stage," and hoped that both countries can work together to enhance mutual understanding and friendship.

Speaking during the celebrations of Chinese New Year here, Weidong said that peaceful existence is needed for economic development and cooperation.

"President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Modi held two informal summits to co-write the chapter of dragon and elephant dancing together," he said.

He also said that China stayed committed to peaceful development and oppose unilateralism and hegemonism. The envoy added that both China and India can join hands to contribute to the process of multipolarity and safeguard the interests of developing countries.

"This year marks the 70th anniversary of China-India diplomatic relations. Over the past 7 decades, China-India relations have been moving forward despite ups and downs, rain or sunshine," Weidong said.

Noting that Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore had a profound impact on China, the diplomat said that it is possible for both the neighbours to go beyond the bilateral scope with a positive and open attitude.

Realistically, India will be the world's third largest economy by 2030, and probably displace US by 2050. When the largest and second largest market border each other, it makes sense to trade and cooperate rather than try to get at each other's throats.

The border dispute is quite minor is the grand scheme of things. Both sides don't want to escalate for some hills in the middle of nowhere.

Small but noticeable progress has been made in improving Indo-Sino ties since doklam. Hopefully the trend will continue in 2020 and beyond.

There are an estimated 26-30k elephants in India, the highest in Asia and we've undertaken the largest conservation efforts in that regard

‘Probably displace the USA’ ... nah ! not happening ..sure India will drag itself out of the mud but know this, the USA has the upper hand in their immense creativity & dominance over all things such as tech. And you know their military is going to dominate even further so you can safely say India is not going surpass the USA or China.
