Chinese and Indian leaders have just begun the second day of their one-in-one at India’s picturesque resort overlooking the Bay of Bengal, trading pleasantries and trying to reconcile frictions between their nations.
The second round of the informal summit between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping kicked off on Saturday morning in the state of Chennai. Their one-hour meeting started at the serene Fisherman's Cove resort and then continued on the beach washed by the Bay of Bengal, according to Indian media.
It mostly revolved around economic cooperation and struggle against extremism that plagues both India and China. Modi in Xi had also apparently tried to iron out wrinkles that emerged after New Delhi revoked autonomy status of its Jammu and Kashmir state that borders China.
“We had decided that we will manage our differences prudently and won't allow them to turn into disputes,” Modi told Xi, to which he replied: “Yesterday Prime Minister as you said, you and I had engaged in candid conversations like friends, heart to heart discussions on bilateral relations. And, I look forward to further discussions.”

Of course, there has been no shortage of mutual praise and reference to history. Modi, a conservative Hindu politician, said India and China have been economic powers that traded with one another “for the most part of the last 2000 years.” He recalled their first informal summit at China’s Wuhan last year that gave “a fresh momentum” and boosted “strategic communication between our two countries.”
This year’s one-in-one spelled “the start of a new era in India-China relations,” PM Modi offered.

Xi Jinping said that last year I had a successful meeting with the Prime Minister in Wuhan, leading China-India relations to a new stage. I am very pleased to invite you to Tamil Nadu in the southern tip of India to learn more about India.

The ancient temple of Mahabalipuram was built in the 7th to 8th centuries and consists of ancient monuments such as the Azhan stone carving, the five-car temple, and the coastal temple.

Xi Jinping pointed out that Tamil Nadu has a long history of exchanges with China. Since ancient times, it has been in close contact with China's maritime trade. It is a transit point for sea goods on the ancient Silk Road. Both China and India are ancient civilizations with thousands of years of history. The ancestors of the two countries have overcome many obstacles, carried out extensive exchanges, and promoted the development and dissemination of literature, art, philosophy, and religion. Both sides have benefited a lot. There is great potential for humanities exchanges between China and India. The two sides should take the opportunity of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and India next year to carry out broader and deeper cultural exchanges, jointly advocate and promote dialogue and exchanges among different civilizations, inject a more lasting impetus into the development of bilateral relations, and continue to write new glory of Asian civilization.

Modi said that the ancient temple group where we are located is an outstanding representative of Indian cultural heritage and architecture, and witnessed the cultural exchanges and long historical links between India and China spanning more than a decade. After thousands of years of development, India and China have now become important emerging economies. Strengthening exchanges and cooperation is of great significance to the development of the two countries and will also promote global progress and prosperity. The Indian civilization is ancient and profound, and its wisdom can provide inspiration for solving the challenges facing the world today.

Accompanied by Modi, Xi Jinping watched Indian classical dances such as the Bharatdo dance representing the ancient civilization of India.

In the coastal temple under the deep starry sky, facing the vast Indian Ocean, Xi Jinping and Modi talked about China and India's respective domestic development and exchanged experience in governing the country. They agreed that China and India should respect each other, learn from each other and learn from each other. We will achieve common development and prosperity and realize the great rejuvenation of the two great civilizations of China and India.

习近平指出,去年我和总理先生在武汉成功会晤以来,中印关系迈入健康稳定发展新阶段,会晤的积极效应不断显现。中印互为重要邻国,是仅有的两个人口超过10亿的大国。维护好、发展好中印关系,是中国坚定不移的政策。当前国际形势下,中印在维护全球稳定和推动发展方面肩负着越来越重要的责任。未来几年是中印实现民族复兴的关键期,也是中印关系发展的关键期。我们要对中印关系把舵定向,从战略高度和长远角度规划中印关系百年大计,为中印关系发展注入强劲内生动力,携手实现中印两大文明伟大复兴。
习近平提出几点建议:
第一,正确看待对方发展,增进战略互信。无论从哪个角度看,中印都应该是和谐相处的好邻居、携手前行的好伙伴。实现“龙象共舞”是中印唯一正确选择,符合两国和两国人民根本利益。两国应该也完全可以走出一条两个相邻大国友好合作的康庄大道。要正确看待两国间的分歧,不能让它冲淡两国合作大局,同时通过沟通逐步寻求理解,不断化解分歧。中方希望自己发展得好,也希望印度发展得好。中印要相互成就、相互“照亮”。
第二,及时有效开展战略沟通,增进彼此了解合作,牢牢把握两国关系发展的大方向。聚焦友好和合作,化解猜忌和疑虑,妥善处理分歧和敏感问题。根据政治指导原则协定,寻求公平合理和双方都能接受的边界问题解决方案。慎重处理涉及彼此核心利益的问题。对一时解决不了的问题,要妥善加以管控。
第三,切实提升军事安全交往合作水平。推动两军关系沿着增信释疑、友好合作的正确方向发展,开展好专业合作、联演联训等活动,持续增进两军互信,加强执法安全部门合作,维护地区安全稳定。
第四,深化务实合作,拉紧利益纽带。要以设立高级别经贸对话机制为契机,加强两国经济发展战略对接,探讨建立制造业伙伴关系。欢迎印度药品企业和信息技术企业赴华投资合作。
第五,丰富人文交流,筑牢友谊根基。我们要办好明年两国建交70周年庆祝活动和“中印人文交流年”活动。支持中国福建省和泰米尔纳德邦、泉州市和金奈城建立友好省城关系,谱写海上丝绸之路新篇章。
第六,加强在国际和地区事务中的合作。旗帜鲜明地维护以联合国为核心的国际体系和以国际法为基础的国际秩序,坚定维护多边主义和以世界贸易组织为核心的多边贸易体制,保障发展中国家的正当发展权益。在二十国集团、金砖国家、上海合作组织、中俄印等多边机制框架内加强协调。探讨逐步将“中印+”合作向南亚、东南亚、非洲拓展,打造更加畅通的地区互联互通网络,尽早达成“区域全面经济伙伴关系协定”。

莫迪表示,印中作为两大文明古国和发展中大国,在当前充满不确定性的国际形势下,加强沟通、协调、合作,保持关系稳定发展对于两国和世界都具有积极、重要意义。我们要照顾彼此重大关切,有效管控和处理分歧,不让分歧成为争端,发展更为紧密的伙伴关系,开启印中关系的新时代。
莫迪再次祝贺中华人民共和国成立70周年,表示印方钦佩中国取得的巨大成就,印中两国都处在民族复兴的进程,两国面临许多相似挑战,印方愿意同中方交流互鉴,深化拓展务实合作。印方感谢中方积极增加进口印度大米和食糖等产品,希望用好高级别经贸对话机制,推动双边贸易平衡可持续发展。印方欢迎更多中国企业来印投资制造业等产业。双方明年应共同办好庆祝建交70周年70场系列活动,欢迎更多中国游客来印。希望双方开展联合研究,深入挖掘悠久的印中交往史。印方珍视维护自身战略自主性,愿同中方加强在多边框架下的沟通协调,共同应对全球性挑战,维护发展中国家合法权益。印方愿同中方一道推动尽早达成“区域全面经济伙伴关系协定”,开展互联互通合作。印方愿同中方加强反恐合作。

On October 12, President Xi Jinping continued to meet with Indian Prime Minister Modi in Chennai. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xie Huanchi photo

Xi Jinping pointed out that since the successful meeting between Mr. and Prime Minister in Wuhan last year, Sino-Indian relations have entered a new stage of healthy and stable development, and the positive effects of the meeting have continued to emerge. China and India are important neighbors to each other and are the only two big countries with a population of more than 1 billion. Maintaining and developing China-India relations is China's unshakable policy. Under the current international situation, China and India shoulder increasingly important responsibilities in maintaining global stability and promoting development. The next few years will be a crucial period for China and India to achieve national rejuvenation and a crucial period for the development of Sino-Indian relations. We must orient the rudder in Sino-Indian relations, plan a hundred-year plan for Sino-Indian relations from a strategic and long-term perspective, inject a strong endogenous impetus into the development of China-India relations, and work together to realize the great rejuvenation of the two great civilizations of China and India.

Xi Jinping made several suggestions:

First, we must treat each other's development correctly and enhance strategic mutual trust. From any angle, China and India should be good neighbors who live in harmony and good partners who go hand in hand. Achieving "Dragon Elephant Dance" is the only correct choice between China and India and is in the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples. The two countries should also be able to walk out of the Kangzhuang Avenue, a friendly and cooperative relationship between two neighboring countries. To correctly treat the differences between the two countries, we must not let it dilute the overall situation of cooperation between the two countries, and at the same time gradually seek understanding through communication and constantly resolve differences. China hopes that it will develop well and hopes that India will develop well. China and India must accomplish each other and "light up" each other.

Second, timely and effective strategic communication, enhance mutual understanding and cooperation, and firmly grasp the general direction of the development of bilateral relations. Focus on friendship and cooperation, resolve suspicions and doubts, and properly handle differences and sensitive issues. In accordance with the Political Guiding Principles Agreement, seek a solution to the boundary problem that is fair and reasonable and acceptable to both parties. Carefully deal with issues that involve each other's core interests. For problems that cannot be solved at one time, we must properly control them.

Third, earnestly improve the level of military security exchanges and cooperation. We will promote the development of relations between the two militaries along the correct direction of increasing trust and dispelling doubts and friendly cooperation, and carry out activities such as professional cooperation and joint training, continuously enhance mutual trust between the two militaries, strengthen cooperation between law enforcement and security departments, and maintain regional security and stability.

Fourth, deepen pragmatic cooperation and tighten the interests of the ties. It is necessary to establish a high-level economic and trade dialogue mechanism as an opportunity to strengthen the economic development strategy of the two countries and explore the establishment of manufacturing partnership. Welcome Indian pharmaceutical companies and information technology companies to invest and cooperate in China.

Fifth, enrich humanities exchanges and build a foundation of friendship. We must do a good job in the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries next year and the "China-India Humanities Exchange Year". Support the establishment of friendly provincial-city relations between Fujian Province of China and Tamil Nadu, Quanzhou City and Chennai City, and write a new chapter of the Maritime Silk Road.

Sixth, strengthen cooperation in international and regional affairs. It maintains a clear-cut international system with the UN as its core and an international order based on international law. It firmly upholds multilateralism and the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization as its core, and safeguards the legitimate development rights of developing countries. Strengthen coordination within the framework of multilateral mechanisms such as the G20, the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and China, Russia and India. It is necessary to gradually expand the "China-India +" cooperation to South Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa, to create a more smooth regional interconnection network, and to reach the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement" as soon as possible.

Modi said that India and China, as two ancient civilizations and large developing countries, have strengthened their communication, coordination and cooperation under the current international situation full of uncertainties, and maintaining stable relations and development is of positive and important significance to both countries and the world. We must take care of each other's major concerns, effectively control and handle differences, prevent differences from becoming disputes, develop closer partnerships, and open a new era of India-China relations.

Modi once again congratulated the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and said that India has admired China's great achievements. India and China are both in the process of national rejuvenation. The two countries face many similar challenges. The Indian side is willing to exchange ideas with China and deepen its development. Practical cooperation. The Indian side thanked China for actively increasing imports of Indian rice and sugar products, and hoped to use a high-level economic and trade dialogue mechanism to promote balanced and sustainable development of bilateral trade. The Indian side welcomes more Chinese companies to invest in manufacturing and other industries. The two sides should jointly organize 70 series of activities to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations next year, and welcome more Chinese tourists to India. It is hoped that the two sides will conduct joint research and dig deep into the long history of exchanges between India and China. The Indian side cherishes its strategic autonomy and is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with the Chinese under the multilateral framework to jointly address global challenges and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries. The Indian side is willing to work with China to promote the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement" as soon as possible and to carry out interconnection and cooperation. India is willing to strengthen anti-terrorism cooperation with China.

Xi Jinping said that through the Chennai meeting, I had a comprehensive and in-depth exchange of views with Prime Minister Modi on China-India relations, deepening mutual understanding, clearer goals and clearer ideas. We must instruct the relevant departments of both sides to implement it and open up a new situation in China-India cooperation.

Xi Jinping said that from the beginning to the end, I have been warmly, warmly and thoughtfully welcomed by the Indian government and people, and I feel the profound traditional friendship between the two peoples. I invite Prime Minister Modi to visit China again.

Modi said that this time we have conducted in-depth exchanges in a friendly atmosphere, deepened our friendship, enhanced mutual understanding and trust, and tightened the bond between the two ancient civilizations. I highly appreciate President Xi Jinping's vision and sincerity and pragmatism. Indeed, India and China must not only face history, but also transcend history and open up the future. In the 21st century, world peace and human progress cannot be separated from India-China cooperation. I highly value the friendship with President Xi Jinping and would like to continue to maintain this kind of beneficial and fruitful strategic communication with you to create a bright future for India-China relations. I look forward to visiting China again to meet you.

The two sides should take the opportunity of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and India next year to carry out broader and deeper cultural exchanges, jointly advocate and promote dialogue and exchanges among different civilizations, inject a more lasting impetus into the development of bilateral relations, and continue to write new glory of Asian civilization.

Modi said that the ancient temple group where we are located is an outstanding representative of Indian cultural heritage and architecture, and witnessed the cultural exchanges and long historical links between India and China spanning more than a decade. After thousands of years of development, India and China have now become important emerging economies. Strengthening exchanges and cooperation is of great significance to the development of the two countries and will also promote global progress and prosperity. The Indian civilization is ancient and profound, and its wisdom can provide inspiration for solving the challenges facing the world today.

Accompanied by Modi, Xi Jinping watched Indian classical dances such as the Bharatdo dance representing the ancient civilization of India.

In the coastal temple under the deep starry sky, facing the vast Indian Ocean, Xi Jinping and Modi talked about China and India's respective domestic development and exchanged experience in governing the country. They agreed that China and India should respect each other, learn from each other and learn from each other. We will achieve common development and prosperity and realize the great rejuvenation of the two great civilizations of China and India.

Ding Xuexiang, Yang Jiechi, Wang Yi, He Lifeng, etc. participated in the above activities.

Asia’s No.1 and No.2 powers have longstanding conflicts of interest, but are seeking common ground through “strategic communication” between their leaders. The goal – stability – is pursued with a heavy dose of personal diplomacy.
An enduring visual of the second ‘informal summit’ between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the ancient southern Indian port of Mamallapuram on October 11-12 was of the two holding hands aloft in front of a gigantic circular granite boulder on a hilly slope which has miraculously not rolled down for the past 1200 years.

The gravity-defying balance of Krishna’s butterball despite its structural vulnerability conveyed the essence of the easygoing and freewheeling summit— China and India are large, mature neighboring countries which can avoid a catastrophic crash in relations through frank interactions of Xi and Modi, who have met seventeen times in the past five years.
Personal touch from above
Xi’s acknowledgement in Mamallapuram that Modi’s initiative of ‘informal summits’ (the previous edition was in Wuhan, China, in April 2018) was a “brilliant idea”, and his Indian counterpart’s comment that such interactions without preset agendas and deliverables were imparting “new momentum and trust”, suggest that this format is ideally suited to deal with the myriad thorny challenges which bedevil Sino-Indian ties.

With Xi ensconced in power indefinitely in China and Modi having recently won a resounding election victory in India, there is a unique convergence of highly concentrated political power in both their hands to remake their respective nations’ foreign policies. Each knows that he has to deal for a long time with the other as a strongman who has total command over bureaucracies and the general publics in China and India.
For years, the Chinese held a dim view of India as a socially and economically backward land, and a stooge of Western imperialism which is no match to China. But India’s rise as an independent ‘leading power’ under Modi has compelled fullest attention in Beijing.
The informal summit in Wuhan was prompted by an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation at the Doklam tri-junction in the Himalayas in 2017, when Modi did not flinch during a tense standoff and ultimately both sides’ militaries backed off. Sensing assertiveness by Modi’s India along the 4057-kilometre long disputed Line of Actual Control (LAC) which separates the two countries, China has come to value frequent direct engagement at the level of Xi and Modi as the ultimate guarantor of sustaining “peace and tranquility” on the border.
Coexisting with contradictions
‘Strategic guidance’ from Xi and Modi to their militaries to avoid escalation at the LAC has largely held since the Wuhan summit, with few incursions and face-offs. While protracted negotiations to settle the decades-old border dispute and demarcate contested portions of the LAC have not yielded breakthroughs, the Indian formulation of preventing “differences from turning into disputes” remains a touchstone of the contemporary burst of informal diplomacy.

Chinese objections to Indian military drills in the Indian-controlled border state of Arunachal Pradesh (which Beijing claims as part of ‘South Tibet’), and Indian ire at China’s condemnation of India’s ‘unilateral’ administrative shakeup to end special status for Jammu & Kashmir (a portion of which is in Chinese control) are just two recent flaps that remind how edgy both countries still are regarding sovereignty and border matters.

Public opinion in India soured against China during the Doklam clash and again this year when China, at the behest of its ‘all-weather-ally’ Pakistan, pushed for a UN Security Council ‘consultation’ on India’s move to abrogate special status of Kashmir.
Indian complaints against China’s meddling in India’s ‘internal affairs’ collide with China’s strategy of supporting Pakistan economically, militarily and diplomatically as a way of counterbalancing India’s rise. Just days before Xi and Modi’s extensive talks at Mamallapuram, the Chinese President assured Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan that China will “support Pakistan in issues related to its core interests”.
Beijing’s assessment is that Pakistan is so economically and diplomatically marginalized that it could potentially crumble under Indian pushback and pressure. Shoring up Pakistan and preventing its possible collapse is a strategic necessity for China, which fears imbalance of power if India were to become unchallenged in South Asia and beyond.
Ironically, if China needs Pakistan to keep India under check, India under Modi has played the card of cozying up to the US and Russia to keep China under check. India’s External Affairs Minister’s explicit rejection of the concept of “containment of China” under a Western umbrella does not mean that New Delhi is complacent about growing Chinese encroachments in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region. Both China and India nurse strategic suspicions about being hemmed in or encircled by the other via third and fourth countries.

Notwithstanding these deep geopolitical misgivings, the fact that Xi and Modi are engaging in “open and cordial” diplomacy where red lines are mentioned and frank reservations are expressed means that Beijing and New Delhi can gauge intentions from the horse’s mouth and follow a gentleman’s code of ‘agreeing to disagree’. Modi’s comment that the two nations had “decided that we will be sensitive towards each other’s concerns” is as realistic as it gets.
Escaping Thucydides
Since the geographical reality is that India and China are direct neighbors, and given that India is projected to eventually catch up with China in economic and military power, avoidance of the ‘Thucydides trap’ which predicts war between existing hegemons and rising challengers, is absolutely essential.
The fates of 2.7 billion people, the combined populations of China and India, and of the economic dividend they have been enjoying through fast GDP growth in recent decades, rests on pragmatic restraint and coexistence. Agreements at Mamallapuram to set up special mechanisms to reduce India’s ballooning trade deficit with China and to infuse ‘trust’ in the defense sectors of the two sides are indicative of this practical spirit.
The trend of reciprocal informal bilateral summits, with the next one to happen in China, cannot usher in eternal peace, revive the old sentimental dream of ‘Hindi Chini bhai bhai’ (Indians and Chinese are brothers), or forge a grand anti-Western global alliance. But the summits indicate that Xi and Modi are committed to predictable and stable relations which do not boil over. The curse of Thucydides can only be averted with such cool and calculated minds.
