India or China, who will move ahead, the debate is useless... Amidst Trump's tariff threats, Global Times tried to woo and also took a jibe
Beijing: US President Donald Trump has been aggressive towards India for the past few days. America has threatened to impose tariffs on Indian goods and harm the Indian economy. On one hand, countries like Iran and Russia have openly supported India on this issue, while on the other hand China is behaving in a cunning manner. China's Global Times is calling India's economy weak on one hand and talking about increasing cooperation. Pointing to Trump's tariff, China has emphasized on better relations with India. All this has been said by Beijing just before PM Narendra Modi's visit. Modi is going to China on 31 August.
Global Times, which is considered to be the mouthpiece of the Chinese government, has reacted on Wednesday to the debate on India's economy. Global Times says in May 2025, India's net foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows fell 99 percent month-on-month and 98 percent year-on-year. This has sparked new international debate over India's economic prospects and its business environment.
India's environment needs to be improved
Chen Lijun, a research fellow at the Yunnan Academy of Social Sciences, believes that from the perspective of the general economic development pattern, national economic regeneration and modernization require hard struggle. The reasons behind the lack of foreign investment in India include the country's business environment, policy direction and stage of development.
As an emerging major power, India is facing challenges such as outdated technology, limited capital and weak infrastructure in its industrial and economic development. It is difficult to solve this in the short term. These issues, along with investment policies and practices, have caused foreign companies investing in India to face repeated failures.
Cooperation between China and India
The Global Times says that Western media have talked about economic competition between China and India in recent years. Such rhetoric has no concrete significance. India and China have a long history of cooperation. There is no confrontation between the two, rather the economies of the two countries complement each other.
China attaches great importance to cooperation with India and is one of India's most important trading partners. In today's complex and constantly changing global scenario, there should be no debate on who will replace whom. Instead, it is wise to use each other's strengths, promote practical cooperation and common development.
A crucial turning point in relations
The Global Times says that China-India relations are at a crucial turning point as the two countries are recovering from the lowest point. Facts have proved that the stable development of China-India relations is in line with the common interests of both sides. The two countries should enhance political mutual trust.
The two countries should expand the channels of cooperation and jointly write a new chapter of friendly cooperation so as to make greater contributions to peace, stability and development in the two countries as well as the region and the world.
