	Description:		China and India declaring they are not rivals but partners is so significant when US, EU have called China a strategic rival, says top Chinese international relations expert. Synopsis: The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 40 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests. In this episode, Ravi speaks with Dr Henry Huiyao Wang, co-founder and head of the Centre for China and Globalisation, a non-government think tank in Beijing, about the Chinese view on recent developments in Sino-Indian ties, and the summit in early August between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Dr Wang says perceptions that India may be dragged by fellow Quad nations into diluting its nonaligned instincts, and the lack of exchanges during the prolonged Covid-19 shutdowns, contributed to a chill in ties. The Xi-Modi summit in Tianjin revives hope of vastly improved ties, and China’s close ties with Pakistan, and improving ties with India, could contribute to peace on the sub-continent, he says.
