After the announcement of Lok Sabha elections in India, neighboring country China has become nervous.
China is always indigestion about how its neighbor India is the world’s largest democracy and how it fulfills the responsibilities of being a democratic country without any problem.
Recently, Global Times, considered the mouthpiece of China, has spewed venom against India after the announcement of Lok Sabha election dates.
China fears that its sins may be exposed in this Lok Sabha election of India.
Global Times, in an article published on Sunday, wrote, “India’s general elections are about to come. The seven-phase general election is scheduled to begin on April 19 and the results will be declared on June 4.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking a third consecutive term. Chinese media is paying a lot of attention to this election to be held in India, because India is a neighboring country of China and there are often border disputes between the two countries. “In 2020, China and India were involved in a violent clash in the Galwan Valley, resulting in the death of four Chinese soldiers and at least 20 Indian soldiers.”
Global Times further wrote, “The steady improvement in China-India economic and trade relations has been the focus of attention for the Chinese media. The volume of China-India bilateral trade in 2023 was $136.22 billion, an increase of 1.5 percent year-on-year, of which China’s exports to India reached $117.68 billion, while China’s imports from India were only $18.54 billion. It was dollars. “India is very concerned about the continued increase in trade deficit with China but this reflects the complementarity of trade between China and India and India’s continued growth in foreign trade needs to be supported by Chinese manufacturing.”
In its article, Global Times wrote, “Our fear is that Indian media will use sensitive topics like China to create momentum on that side. He has done this before also. Candidates will also use China-related issues to garner more votes. Some Indian media outlets and elites are also exploiting the India-China trade deficit issue. “They are taking advantage of anti-China sentiment to gain votes in the elections.”
