Looks like a nice city.....Rockdog.
What is it about Indian Prime Ministers ? Maybe its not Indian PMs that are the problem.....maybe its just that Indians are dreamers, who always think in too optimistic terms.
Every single time a new Indian Prime Minister comes to power......they always think that they can do a "RESET" with China.
They always believe that that will succeed where every previous Indian PM starting from Nehru failed miserably. They think that they can use their personal charm to convince Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping. Or maybe they can change the venue and make its less formal, and really bond on a personal level.
They think that the previous PMs of India maybe did not have the right approach, or the right skills. Each new Indian PM thinks that he will be the one to finally break the deadlock. They think that maybe they can finally change China's open hostility to India.
This is like watching the same screwed up movie over and over again.
The Chinese have never taken India seriously......they always see India-China relations as a zero-sum game meaning India's rise will challenge Chinese Domination of the whole Asian region.
So for 50 years they have adopted a policy of supporting the Pak strategy of "Death by a thousand cuts". Modi will have dinner with Xi and walk around beautiful gardens, and when he is about to leave the Chinese will slap him in the face, just like they did with every other Indian PM.
Most probably the border intrusions by the PLA at the LOC will become very aggressive just as Modi and Xi are toasting glasses on the dinner.
