BEIJING: The Chinese foreign ministry has responded to India's decision to send a military delegation to China with positive vibes and promises to "make concerted efforts" to improve relations with India in 2012.

New Delhi's decision to send the military delegation has caused some surprises after Beijing refused to grant visa to a military officer born in Arunachal Pradesh to reinforce its ownership claim over the region.

"China hopes that the two sides will support each other and learn from each other, so as to push for better and faster development of the Sino-Indian strategic and cooperative partnership," the country's Assistant Foreign minister Liu Zhenmin said ringing in the New Year. He was apparently applauding New Delhi for realizing Beijing's difficulties in granting visa to an officer from Arunachal in view of its public claims over it.

Liu's approach towards India appeared much different from the one displayed by the Communist Party-run Global Times, which recently said that the Indian Ministry of External Affairs was "full of narrow nationalism". It also blamed it for "hyping" up a trade dispute that saw two Indian traders being detained in the southern city of Yiwu.

"China hopes that the two sides will support each other and learn from each other, so as to push for better and faster development of the Sino-Indian strategic and cooperative partnership," Liu said. "China hopes that the two sides will support each other and learn from each other, so as to push for better and faster development of the Sino-Indian strategic and cooperative partnership," he said.

He talked about the "growing momentum" in the development of relationship between the two countries, which have "established effective communication and coordination on significant international and regional issues".

"A steadily growing Sino-Indian partnership will not only bring benefits to the two peoples, but it will also be conducive to promoting peace, stability and prosperity in Asia and the world at large," he opined. The year 2011 was an "year of exchanges", he said. It helped "increase mutual understanding", he claimed while citing the visit of a 500-member Indian youth delegation to Beijing.

The first 11 months of 2011 saw a 21.8% rise in bilateral trade which reached $ 67.28 billion.

mutual respect for each other's concern is needed, if we are to normalize our relations. good work by both govts.
although it's just a beginning and we have a long way to go, I'm not expecting any breakthrough
 
Chinese government denied visa to the military officer from Arunachal just to show the publich it's doing something (but in fact nothing) for national interest.

Money speaks. If the growth in bilateral trade is 21.8%, then Sino-India trade will reach $100 billion by the end of 2013, much faster than the estimated 2015.

If the same growth rate is continued, then the trade between India and China by 2015 will be $150 billion

But the problem is the trade is asymmetric and in favour of China. If the same growth rate is maintained for two years then by 2015, the quantum of trade will be upwards of $150 billion. So there is a urgent need to correct trade deficit. Asymmetric trade relations don't last long
 
chinese dont hate india is it the other way round, most of us dont even know we had a war with india in 1962.

Not to mention hosting separatist.
