Beijing, China and India may come closer if
BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi comes to power but his victory
could upset the US and western powers, an article in an influential state-run
Chinese daily said today.
A write up in the state-run Global Times, an
official publication of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), said “Modi
was once a practical businessman. After he got into politics, he established
good relations with China.”“A large number of Chinese enterprises invested in
Gujarat, contributing to the economic development of the state. Therefore, ties
between China and India may become closer under Modi’s leadership,” the article
said.
The article written by Liu Zongyi, a strategic analyst
from the state-run Shanghai Institute for International Studies, said Modi’s
victory may not be palatable to western countries like the US which has imposed
sanctions against the Gujarat Chief Minister for his alleged role in the 2002
riots.Without directly referring to Modi’s remarks against China on the border
issue while campaigning in Arunachal Pradesh where he had said China should
shed its “expansionist policy”, the article said a section of the Western media
and observers are “hyping up” his remarks to foment discord between China and
India.
