‘Dragon-Elephant Tango': China signals shift in ties with India, says both can reshape global order by ignoring US
China has described External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar's visit to Beijing as a step toward resetting bilateral ties, but cautioned that lasting progress will require trust and sustained effort. Jaishankar is in China to attend the SCO Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Tianjin and is also holding bilateral talks in Beijing. This is his first visit to China in five years. Jaishankar's visit seen as diplomatic breakthrough In an editorial published in The Global Times , China's mouthpiece, it highlighted that the five-year gap since the last Indian foreign minister's visit shows how abnormal diplomatic ties had become. However, the paper said Jaishankar's presence, following last year's Kazan meeting between Indian and Chinese leaders, marks a 'fresh restart' and a positive effort to restore communication mechanisms. China calls for mutual trust and cooperation The editorial quoted Chinese Vice President Han Zheng saying that 'it is the right choice for both sides to be partners contributing to each other's success and realize the ' Dragon-Elephant Tango .'' Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the two countries should 'build mutual trust instead of suspicion, pursue cooperation instead of rivalry, and support each other's success instead of wearing each other down.'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo There is also talks for resuming direct flights between both the countries. Indian tone more pragmatic, says Global Times The paper noted a shift in Indian public and diplomatic messaging. It said Indian commentary around the visit has used phrases like 'on the mend,' 'continued thawing,' and 'back on track,' indicating a more practical and optimistic approach compared to previous years. Live Events The Global Times said the unresolved boundary dispute remains the most sensitive and complicated issue. It described the border tensions as a source of misunderstanding and mistrust in India and said both sides need to build a reliable border trust mechanism and restart high-level strategic dialogue. The paper also blamed the United States for trying to create divisions between India and China. Multilateral platforms offer room for cooperation Despite tensions, the paper said cooperation between India and China through multilateral platforms like SCO and BRICS can continue. It said existing mechanisms within these forums could help address global challenges and contribute to a more stable Asia-Pacific region. The Global Times said, 'Strategic mutual trust cannot be achieved through a single meeting or a single joint statement; it must be gradually built up through long-term, sustained, and measurable interactions.' It added that 'enduring political will, pragmatic consultative mechanisms, and most importantly, mutual respect for each other's core concerns' are necessary. China urges India to look beyond misperceptions The editorial concluded by urging India to view China from the lens of its own development needs. It said, 'the more the two countries can eliminate misjudgments and hedge against external risks through sustained dialogue, the better positioned they will be to take the initiative to stand at the forefront in the reshaping of the global order.'
