J Shankar’s visit to China: Is relation reform progress?

Five years later, Indian Foreign Minister Dr. SJ Shankar visited China last week, focusing on many capitals.

Many constituencies are raising questions whether it is progressing towards a cordial relationship between two traditional rivals or only a general diplomatic process?

Some observers believe that the improvement in relations between the two countries may be a surprise to strengthen BRICS and SCOs.

After the 2020 border clashes, relations between the two countries are bitter, but it has seen a decline in recent months.

Various Indian ministers visited China for various meetings at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), while now J Shankar has also met Chinese President Xi Ji Pin.

During the recent war between Pakistan and India, many constituencies in India accused China of providing weapons to Pakistan or assisted it against India in various ways.

Following these allegations, the meeting is being explained as India’s changing attitude towards China.

But it would not be appropriate to see the journey only in terms of Pakistan. Many observers believe that the American tariff is forcing China and India to get closer despite many differences.

While Washington imposed a serious tariff on Beijing, it also caused India’s nose and Delhi proposed to the World Trade Organization to put a counter -order against the United States in this regard.

There are also reports that in June, Indian Prime Minister Modi dismissed US President Donald Trump’s invitation to the United States visit to the United States, while India was also launched on Trump’s announcement, which he had done in relation to the ceasefire after the Pakistan India war.

India disagrees with many Chinese policies. For example, Delhi suffers from China’s growing influence in South Asia. In 12 years, its trade volume with South Asian countries has increased from $ 100 billion to $ 200 billion in 12 years after China’s belt and road project.

There is also reservation in India’s rare minerals and fertilizer export policy in India. In addition, Chinese support for Pakistan is a pain for India. Delhi also looks at Beijing’s growing ties with Dhaka.

In view of all these factors, the journey is being fired that India has a strong desire to improve relations with China. However, some observers feel that this effort is not only from India, but China has recently provided facilities to Indian pilgrims in Tibet to pay religious rituals.

In addition, it has indicated that direct flights between the two countries may start soon.

Another reason for India and China is the case of Tibet. India openly supports the Dalai Lama and has allowed them to establish an interim government in Dharma Shala.

The handout photo released by the Russian Foreign Ministry shows the Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), who presented for a photo on July 15, 2025 (AFP) in Tianjin.

Last week, many Indian ministers participated in the 90th anniversary of the Dalai Lama, which China thanked.

China understands that the Dalai Lama’s successor would need their acceptance, while the Dalai Lama rejected it.

One Chinese diplomat said that the issue of Tibetan was like a thorn in China and India.

There are many more obstacles in India’s relations with China. India, the United States, Japan and Australia are part of a military alliance, aims to tighten around China.

India and China are more than 3000 km and there are border disputes between the two countries.

The deep -favorable relations between China and Pakistan, military support and monopoly on rare minerals are also important questions that cannot improve and improve relations with China.

However, the two countries are concerned about the growth of growing economic nationalism and protectionism in the United States and Europe, causing serious economic losses. Both countries want to promote free trade.

Both countries want their economic growth to grow rapidly. Some Indian constituencies wanted India’s GDP to continue at the rate of nine percent for a long time. But if he does not improve relations with China, it can be very difficult to get rare minerals and fertilizers.

Without these minerals, the concept of modern technology is also useless. Electric cars and defense equipment from laptops to mobile phones and mobile phones are very important for everything.

While some constituencies in India want to benefit from China’s largest market and its rare minerals, many circles in India also believe that the future of the world’s largest republic is in unity with the US and Western camps.

Many Western companies have created extensively in India and have made it a pioneer in vaccines, software and other fields.

Observers believe that if India understands China’s sensitivity on FDI and the Dalai Lama issue, and on the other hand, if Beijing shows flexibility on fertilizers, minerals and border disputes, it is closely possible between the two countries.

However, both countries will have to avoid bringing bilateral disputes in the SCO. China has avoided doing so. However, India has tried to discuss Pakistan India relations.

If India refuses to do so and tries to understand China’s concerns, and if China also tries to remove New Delhi’s concerns, it is possible that the relationship between rivals will improve in the coming years.

However, another important link for this reform is the President of the United States Trump. Currently, Trump’s contradictory trade policies are forcing India and China to get closer, but if Trump’s policy changes, these relations will also change.

In terms of population, relations between two neighboring countries of the world can strengthen SCOs and BRICS, as these two organizations have two largest markets in the world, four nuclear weapons countries, four largest military powers in the world, the world’s largest countries and natural resources, with the world and with Western countries.
