  Ahead of Prime MinisterNarendra Modi’s Beijing visit, a state-run newspaper on Tuesday carried a highly critical article, accusing him of “playing little tricks” over the border dispute and security issues against China to boost his domestic prestige.
  
  “Ever since Modi assumed office, he has taken the initiative to actively develop India’s relationships with Japan, the US, and European countries in no time, in order to promote the country’s poor infrastructure construction and economic development.
  
  “But his diplomatic moves last year have proven that he is a pragmatist, rather than a visionary,” said the article ‘Can Modi’s visit upgrade Sino-Indian ties?’ by Hu Zhiyong, a research fellow at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, published in the state-run Global Times.
  
  
  Observers say the article in the newspaper, a sister publication of the ruling Communist Party of China, strikes a sour note ahead of Modi’s first visit from May 14 to 16 after taking over as the Prime Minister.
  
  Citing historical feud and mutual mistrust that stems from geopolitics, the article said the two sides have never established real strategic trust.
  
  “Leaders from both China and India should not only strengthen mutual political trust, but also stick to a series of agreed principles and match their rhetoric with action,” it said.
  
  “In light of this, Modi should no longer visit the disputed border region (Arunachal Pradesh) in pursuit of his own political interests, nor should he deliver any remarks that infringe on the consensus on bilateral ties,” it added.
  
  “Meanwhile, the Indian government should completely stop supporting the Dalai Lama, and stop making the Tibetan issue a stumbling block to the Sino-Indian relationship.”
  
  The paper is critical of Modi’s neighbourhood policy.
  
  “Modi has been busy strengthening India’s ties with neighbouring countries to compete with China, while trying to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities for economic development created by China” with its Silk Road projects, it said ahead of Modi’s talks with the Chinese leadership.
  
  “Modi has also been playing little tricks over border disputes and security issues, hoping to boost his domestic prestige while increasing his leverage in negotiations with China,” it added.

India will try its best to resolve issues with China: Rajnath | Zee News

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said that India will make sure that issues with China are resolved peacefully during Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s visit to the country adding that it was important to remember former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee that friends could be changed but not neighbours.

"India is one nation that believes that the whole world is family. I will try my best that the tension between China and India is lessened and I am sure that even China wants peace and hence will make efforts to achieve the same. We have not forgotten Atal ji`s statement that friends can be changed but not neighbours," said Singh.

Prime Minister Modi will visit China as part of his six-day, three nation tour. During his trip, he will be visiting Beijing, Shanghai and Xi`an, before departing for Mongolia.

During the visit, India would seek greater market access, removal of non-tariff barriers and investments in sectors such as defence.

China has already signed MoUs to set up industrial parks in India.

Tibet is an independent country you are occupying illegally

we know your hunger for land

With the fall of the Manchu's Qing Dynasty, Mongolia under the Bogd Khaan declared independence in 1911. However, the newly established Republic of China considered Mongolia to be part of its own territory. Bogd Khaan said to Yuan Shikai, the President of the Republic of China "I established own state before you, the Mongols and Chinese have different origin, our languages and scripts are different. You're not the Manchu's descents, so how can you think China is the Manchu's successor?"

not to mention your evil designs for india

we Indians don't trust the Chinese,

I knew it: India tried to backstab China on the border talks.
