China’s government media has praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi fiercely.
New Delhi: China, which usually makes statements against India, has acknowledged India’s strength for the first time in recent years. Praising PM Modi, China’s state media Global Times has written that India is a confident country which is progressing rapidly under the leadership of its Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Zhang Jiadong, director of the Center for South Asian Studies of Fudan University, has written in Global Times that India is progressing rapidly in the field of economic and social development as well as diplomacy. He further wrote that India has achieved excellent results in economic development and social governance.
Lots of praise for PM Modi
It is written in Global Times, ‘With rapid economic and social development, India has now become more strategically confident. India has now become more active in creating and developing the narrative. Ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed power, he has advocated a multi-alignment strategy to boost India’s relations with the US, Japan, Russia and other countries and regional organisations. There has been a change in India’s strategic thinking regarding foreign policy and it is now moving towards a more powerful strategy. Due to the Russia-Ukraine war, India distanced itself from the West and associated itself with the developing countries.
‘India moved from dream to reality’
Jiadong further wrote in his article, ‘I recently visited India twice. During this time I found that India’s domestic and foreign situation has changed a lot. India has achieved good results in economic development and social governance. India’s power strategy has moved from dream to reality. Its economy has gained momentum. Meanwhile, New Delhi has also made progress in urban governance. The smog is still severe here, but the smell that was felt earlier while deboarding the plane has now disappeared. This shows that the environment in New Delhi has also improved.
Relations between India and China have declined in the last few years.
‘India now wants to become a world leader’
Jiadong has written, ‘In the political and cultural fields, India has moved ahead by emphasizing its democratic consensus with the West. India now wants to become a world leader politically and culturally. India now sees its cultural tradition not only as a symbol to achieve its interests and attract foreign tourists, but it also sees it as a great power. India has always considered itself a world power.
