Indian media: Our neighbors regard Beijing as a reliable partner

India's "Indian News" June 12 article, original title: Big Brother problem -Different from India, the relationship between China and our neighbors has not been damaged by history in the past 20 years, China's strategic interests in India's surrounding areas have promoted Beijing Contact with the area, but this is not a complete unilateral decision. Over the years, the needs of various countries have also been a "pulling factor" that supported Beijing's actions.

China's influence in the region is increasing, an important reason is the "Indian hegemony" in the eyes of regional countries. However, with the rise of China, the proposal of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the increasing participation of China in the region, governments of regional countries will regard Beijing as an out -of -regional force against New Delhi. Beijing has established its position as a key partner as a key partner for major political changes, including in the field of infrastructure and investment and financing, which has made them in a favorable position in exchanges with any developing countries, no matter who govern.

There is no doubt that China is also an economic attractive partner, especially in development assistance. In the past 20 years, China's investment in surrounding India has increased significantly, including interconnection and transportation, energy, technology, real estate, and so on. It is true that India has many development projects in each neighboring country, but cannot be compared with China. Chinese tourists are another precious and growing resource in the surrounding areas of India, especially for countries such as Sri Lanka and Maldives.

Another controversial issue is that compared to New Delhi, neighboring countries believe that Beijing is a political reliable partner. Compared with India, the bilateral relations between China and the surrounding countries of India have not been damaged by history and national construction. For Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and even Myanmar, religion, race and language bonds associate them with India -but this often leads to controversy with India's relationship and affect the development of bilateral relations.
