Modi to do a Madison square in Shanghai during China visit

[temp1994]

What is there to get annoyed. There are so many things the government has already achieved in less than a year. You people are acting as if BJP is in power for decades. If anything, Modi's "antics" have pojected India to the world audience.... as an investor friendly destination, as a cultural hotspot and above all..... made a connect with the millions of Indians abroad. Whatever antics he is doing, it is 1000 times better than our previous silent pm.

Actually, even I think that doing this in China is stupid (I am a BJP supporter and has been certified as Sanghi by sickulars on this forum).

First, there are no appreciable Indian diaspora in China.

Second, That diaspora could not lobby for us as they would not be heard in China. Moreover, their attempt to lobby for us or even a show of sympathy to India could lead them ending in gulagesq jails.

Third, and most important. Due to above two reasons, this show has high probability of failure. Why risk it at the time when opposition for first time in your tenure, has got an emotive issue to beat you with. Failure at this juncture may be politically bad for you.

45000 is not a big number from political stage considering size of India and China. Also, i believe 45000 is the total number spread across China and not just in Shanghai...So who is going to Finance the travel for these people to Shanghai assuming all are going to attend?

 

[definitelynotIndian]

No, not even our own officials do open public rallies. most chinese ppl feel strange for that
If the Indians here in China are Modi‘s intended audience，I am sure something could be arranged,maybe in a auditorium? Or he could give a speech at universities,like Tony Blare did. anywayto

How does China chooses its president? Is it done by CPC themselves or is it based on public opinion?

I wish I could tell you for sure...The decision making by CPC inner circle were mostly kept secrecy. There's a videoclip may shed some light, Some points he talked about are new even for someone living outside the political system like myself

He really has come to the conclusion that all this is a Bollywood movie! I thought he did one big bang because he won the election, but this is really getting weird now . NRI PM should do some work for a change.

 

[Dr. Sen]

But at the end of the day if he manages to bring home some solid deals with the Chinese, then what more do we need, he can drink and dance with Xi for all we care.

They are living and working in China, they are not Chinese citizens. (Or "Chinese-Indians" as you say.)

Getting Chinese citizenship is extremely difficult for foreigners.

They are Indian nationals.

Oh didn't knew that
On topic
The number is very small

 

[AndrewJin]

There is not such thing as Chinese Indians...They are Indian nationals and will never be given a green card(permanent residency) unless one is a top scientist or technician and has made a huge contribution to China.

Chinese are concerned about Modi's success in Gujarat not something else.
No offence to you guys, but if any Indian member here who understands Chinese reads general online comments toward India, I will feel sorry for this Indian...Better to not understand Chinese than read praises of Singapore style governance and criticism towards any democracy in third world countries. (Most don't have too much criticism towards democratic socialism in Northern Europe)

Yep China is not an immigration nation, it is very difficult for foreigners to get Chinese citizenship.

We have over 10+ million people migrating from rural areas to urban areas every SINGLE YEAR, there is no need for immigration when we have overwhelming numbers to take care of already.

Modi to do a Madison square in Shanghai during China visit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will do a repeat of his Madison Square Garden act during his next month's visit to China that will make him the first Indian leader to address the communist nation's burgeoning Indian community, whose numbers have swelled to 45,000.

As diplomats held hectic consultations to work out a wide agenda for his high-profile visit, Indian associations in different Chinese cities sent out invites to their members asking them to be ready to assemble in Shanghai to take part in the meeting with the Prime Minister to be held in the second or third week of May.

Going by the invites, the event has been modelled on the ones addressed by Modi at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden and Allphones Arena in Sydney that made waves in India and around the world.

He is also expected to address a similar event in Toronto next week during the third and final leg of his three-nation tour to France, Germany and Canada.

It is perhaps a novel effort by an Indian Prime Minister to attempt the same in China as the numbers of the Indian professionals and businessmen were on a steady rise in the dragon country regarded as hostile for decades after the 1962 war.

According to an official estimate prepared during the February visit of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, about 45,000 Indians currently work and reside in China.

Though this will be Modi's first visit as Prime Minister, he is a familiar figure in China as he made several visits here as Chief Minister of Gujarat to study the Chinese developmental model and to scout for investments from the world's second largest economy.

Modi's May visit will have several new facets, especially the Hometown Diplomacy as he would travel to Chinese President Xi Jinping's home province Shaanxi.

Xi was expected to host Modi in the city of Terracotta Warriors in a reciprocal gesture to the latter hosting him in Gujarat during the Chinese leader's India visit in September last year.

We have diaspora in China too?

Even residency is insanely hard. My Indian friend who is working as a senior engineer in a shipyard of Jiangsu could'n get one. Even he decided to work here for 20 years, NO, not considered as huge contribution.

A few years ago, I was considering to apply for a Chinese green card as well because that would have facilitated my travels to China and work a lot. But after going through the criteria I gave up the idea. The threshold is insanely hight, not even my friend who is a GM of a large German (top 50 forbes) company has a chance to get one.
