China and India pledge to be 'partners not rivals'
BBC News ^ | 8/30/2025 | Laura Bicker, Stephen McDonell, Danai Nesta Kupemba

The leaders of China and India say there is now deepening trust between them after years of tension that includes a long-running border dispute.

China's President Xi Jinping and Indian PM Narendra Modi met on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in the port city of Tianjin. It is Modi's first time in China in seven years.

Xi told Modi that China and India should be partners, not rivals while Modi said there was now an "atmosphere of peace and stability" between them.

President Putin is also at the summit, attended by more than 20 world leaders, but this year overshadowed by trade wars with the US.

President Trump has imposed steep tariffs on Indian goods as punishment for Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil, and Putin faces threats of sanctions for his ongoing war on Ukraine.

It will be hugs, kisses, and sweet words for a brief time — then back to hatred and maneuvering for position.

It surely seems that many want to reduce complexities down to simple statements, pick a side and then tussle mightily over their choice, their chosen opponent then being any and all that would disagree with them in today's America. To me, it is the "liberal" and "progressive" manner of enforcing a lockstep routine. Though you and I, who wore olive drab, might obey orders, we would from time to time have disagreed and then agreed to disagree.

Yes, but isn’t Kazan the inofficial capital of the Tatar minority in Russia?

The Tatars are, iirc, majority Muslim. Thus, a mosque would be expected in this city. And I always thought that the Tatars and the Russian majority got along reasonably well within Russia.

But of course, I could be wrong…maybe Islamism as a political ideology is growing in Tatarstan, too…

Putin and his expansionist desires are the root cause of the Ukraine War. The Neocons failed to deal with him earlier.
