Having correctly gauged that Modi was in urgent need of some success in the external realm, the Xi dispensation laid out the agenda. Foreign Minister Wang wants India to sign on along with China as a "guardian of globalism" and jointly work out means and measures to oppose Trump's protectionist policies.
But there's no hint that Xi will concede even a millimeter on matters of interest to India, in the main, the expeditious resolution of the border dispute and delineation of the Line of Actual Control as the formal boundary, and the acceptance of 'One India' in return for Delhi's agreeing to the 'One China' concept; 'One India' to include the boundaries f the erstwhile princely kingdom of Kashmir meaning, ipso facto, Gilgit and Baltistan and the rest of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. And that if Xi does not agree with this, then India would instantly withdraw from its earlier agreed position of the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) as part of China — which historically it never was, a fact proven by the Great Ming Unification Record of 1461.
That Xi is the hardest negotiator Modi has met is evident from a simple fact: Modi never tried to hug Xi — if he did, he must have done so in secret because there are no pics of this momentous embrace on film'.
SN – Remember China had agreed to provide India information on river waterflow etc but did not due to Doklam.
All said and done , Mr. Modi has to be extremely cautious in dealing with China and he has to act without fear of Chinese military strength and economic power, keeping in view China's past acts of commission and omission against India. He should certainly ensure that he would not appease China to buy peace. Today, China has more compulsions than India in the relation between both the countries.
Perhaps, Mr. Modi will expect that China would force Pakistan to give up it's demand for Kashmir and stop supporting terrorism in Kashmir. He would also, perhaps , expect China not to precipitate any conflict in the border. China in it's characteristic style would give vague promises to India and expect India to concede it's demands immediately.
A successful switch to electric vehicles, coupled with strategically increased refining capacity, could be both a geoeconomic and geopolitical manoeuvre.
