00:00 In recent times, the China-India relations have been strained.

00:05 But China, this time surprisingly, has commended Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call

00:09 for the constructive bilateral talks to resolve the ongoing border issue at the Line of Actual

00:15 Control (LAC).

00:17 The Chinese government's mouthpiece state media has termed Modi's recent statement as

00:21 "thought-provoking" while describing it as a gesture of goodwill.

00:27 Responding to PM Modi's interview with an Indian magazine, China acknowledged the importance

00:31 of a sound and stable ties between Beijing and New Delhi, agreeing that the prolonged

00:36 situation at the borders must be addressed urgently.

00:41 In his interview, PM Modi emphasized the significance of positive and constructive engagement at

00:46 both diplomatic and military levels to restore and maintain peace and tranquility along the

00:50 borders with China.

00:53 After this, the Chinese spokesperson Mao Ning acknowledged Modi's remarks, stating that

00:57 the sound and stable India-China relations serve the interests of both countries and

01:01 contributes to regional and global peace and even the development.

01:05 However, Mao again retariated that China's stance is that the boundary question does

01:09 not represent the entirety of China-India relations and should be managed appropriately

01:13 with bilateral relationship.

01:16 China also expressed hope that India will approach bilateral relations from a strategic

01:20 perspective focusing on building trust, engaging in dialogue and cooperation in handling differences

01:25 appropriately and stabilize the relationship.

01:28 The interview came amid China's renaming attempt of India's Arunachal Pradesh as Zhangnan.

01:33 Recently, China renamed 30 districts of Arunachal Pradesh into Chinese names which drew widespread

01:39 condemnation.

01:41 But now, Modi's remarks were welcomed by the official Chinese media which viewed them as

01:46 a step towards peaceful and stable India-China relation.

01:50 Several other Chinese media also characterized Modi's statement as a gesture of goodwill

01:54 suggesting that it might pay way for resolving the long-standing border dispute through fair

01:59 and reasonable means.

02:01 But the main question despite all this is that will China back off from its original

02:06 stance?
