When China and India held their 30th meeting on the border issue, India promised to resolve the border situation as soon as possible, which eased the deteriorating Sino-Indian relations. However, just when everyone thought that the relationship between China and India would develop in a friendly direction, India suddenly dispatched a large number of troops to conduct military exercises on the Line of Actual Control between China and India. This rapid change of attitude also brought the relationship between China and India back to the starting point and became tense again.
On July 31, senior leaders of China and India in charge of foreign affairs jointly hosted the 30th meeting of the China-India Consultation and Coordination Mechanism on Border Affairs in New Delhi. At this meeting, the two sides reached a consensus that they hope to reach a solution acceptable to all as soon as possible, maintain diplomatic and military communication channels, and safeguard peace and stability in the border areas.
Both sides hope to turn the page on the border situation as soon as possible during this meeting.
Since China and India have held dozens of rounds of dialogue and negotiations on the border issue but have not achieved good results, the consensus reached by the two sides this time can be regarded as a historic moment. Even Reuters believes that the relationship between China and India is "back on track." However, we should not have too high expectations for this change. Whether it is the consensus reached this time or the statement made by Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Japan, it can be seen that this is an adjustment in India's policies and tactics. In the next development, India may change its attitude at any time.
