China and India pledge to be 'partners not rivals'

Source: BBC

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.

Trump's idiotic tariff policy will push them together from the standpoint of international trade, and the SCO represents a large percentage of all world trade.
This is not good for the US in either the short or long run.

Republicans are stupid.

Bush2 invaded Iraq and thereby increased Iran’s influence in the gulf.

Now Trump’s stupidity is helping India and the PRC establish closer ties.

Well done to every stupid Republican in the country.

MAIA!
