According to China News Service, Lin Jian, spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, recently hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked: According to reports, recently, the Indian Navy and Coast Guard rescued a Chinese crew member who was accidentally injured in the waters near Mumbai and sent the injured to the hospital for treatment. What is China's comment on this? Spokesperson Lin Jian said: Recently, a Chinese crew member was accidentally injured while operating a ship in the waters near Mumbai. He was rescued and treated by the Indian side in a timely manner. His condition is currently stable and he has returned to China to recover. China expresses its sincere gratitude to the relevant Indian departments and personnel for overcoming many difficulties and carrying out humanitarian rescue work.

Recently, although India has not had any substantial "fights" with us, it has shown an attitude of "sometimes moving away from us, sometimes moving closer to us" in the international community and international conferences involving China. From some conflicts over border issues, Modi did not attend the SCO meeting; to agreeing to attend this year's BRICS meeting after visiting Russia and changing his previous attitude of opposing BRICS expansion; to missing the China-South Asia Cooperation Forum and falsely accusing us of not inviting it... It can be seen that Modi seems to have learned some kind of "rejecting but also welcoming" tactics, constantly testing our bottom line. This time, India finally took action, and it was not a "provocative" action, but a friendly rescue.

India's helping hand demonstrates its humanitarian spirit, and China's gratitude to it is also an ice-breaking act. During Modi's first two terms as prime minister, he had always been tough on China. At the beginning of his third term, Modi and Lai Qingde exchanged glances. From the outside world's point of view, Modi will continue his tough policy toward China, and Sino-Indian relations will not change in the short term. However, this change came. India has recently frequently expressed goodwill to China, except for this rescue. In July, the Chinese and Indian foreign ministers met twice. The first time was during the SCO summit. Modi was absent and Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar was demoted to attend the meeting. Recently, during the series of East Asian Foreign Ministers' Meetings held in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Subrahmanyam Jaishankar again.
