tiger, or panda and elephant? As Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, and Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, met for an “informal summit” on October 12th, theof metaphors in the Indian press was telling. Strongmen on their own political turf, the two men ambled as tourists through the eighth-century rock carvings of Mamallapuram on India’s south-eastern coast before banqueting at a romantic seaside temple, the last vestige of a once-thriving port that traded with China 1,300 years ago.
China, meanwhile, casts a wary eye at India’s growing closeness to adversaries such as America, Australia and Japan. Partly because India views itself as a superpower-in-waiting, and partly from a desire not to provoke its bigger neighbour, India has shied away from formal alliances. But even under the erratic Trump administration India’s ties with America, which include a growing number of defence agreements, have continued to strengthen.
A similar shadow-play of competing influences goes on in India’s near-abroad. After meeting Mr Modi, Mr Xi flew to the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu. It was the first visit by a Chinese president in 23 years. The largely Hindu republic has strong historic and cultural ties to India, but its government has tilted northward in recent years. Both countries are run by communists, after all, and many Nepalese resent India’s occasionally bullying policies towards their country.
The two populist countries leaders!
Dois gigantes! A China é a 2ª maior economia da terra! A Índia vem crescendo muito. Em 2019 (junho) = 5ª potência econômica, superando França, UK e Itália! Obs.: Brasil na 9ª colocação (BolsonaroEnvergonhaOBrasil BolsonaroEmbarrassesBrazil ) Fonte:
Lessons from the past, realities of the present should be leveraged to put aside the mistrust for a better economic future for these Asian tigers.
Is it China and India, or India and Pakistan
This joke made my day actually, but a question for u that are you fool or being a pretender to be or you are in real ?
Both are good at faking it.
Love how western media claims to be an expert on everything & give their valuable solutions.. how about concentrating on your countries which have leaders like trump and borris ?
And if they can't rid of their differences, maybe they shouldn't be leaders.
Bye, bye realDonaldTrump
Good to see a photo op can bring folks together.
First of all this is an informal meeting. Secondly the place of talk is selected in the South india for avoiding Sino-India border in the north india. Obviously both side think is just political show.
How to make US great again!
runinhkrun The keyword in the title of article .. 'pretend'
They talked about who's cock is bigger.
What did they talk about? Maybe....’let’s use more coal to piss off those XR greenies mob! And we export all these stuff made by coal back to these idiots. Afterall, these greenies love the latest tech gadgets.’
Probably disney memes
I hard by word of the mouth, that China, has some control in Africa Angola, and do not employ anyone from Angola, all projects business done by China workers management. Is not what they doing in Australia to?
Modi look like a khadim.

The leaders of country X and country Y hate other but agree to get along. That is the international political paradigm. With a very very few exceptions, sovereign states have no “friends,” only interests.
Two entirely different models. India will have the advantage in the long term. If they went to war i'd guess India would win.
What could it mean, when India and China working together...
Chinese govt does not send tourists. People pay themselves. China, India will try to manage differences and focus on the big picture: Cooperation. It is win-win for both nations and the region, except some politicians in Washington who try to pitch them against each other
narendramodi is an arse hole China drilling it for gold
Formal meetings are useless enough, let alone the informal ones.
What they talked about might be none of your business.
It's good to talk. Even when there is nothing much on the agenda!
Let’s talk about the money you’re going to put in my pocket.
Is it always assumed that nobody in the the world can get along without the West's meddling. World dynamics have changed drastically.
and the importance of NOT talking about Kashmir, Xinjiang, or Hong Kong. These are to be treated as sacred domestic issues, veiled from the world's eyes and press.
chapati and noodles
Lol, I guess the media had the room bugged or now have psychic powers
Ethnic cleansing
They are talking about the World.
How now Kashmir has equal rights for all? Modi experience on being democratically elected twice with a landslide? UK administered Ireland?

U like a long-tongue woman
Attack counter attack
Silence of the Rothschild lambs.
