China's Diplomatic Readouts: Trust Deficit Persists

China's Diplomatic Readouts: Trust Deficit Persists

India and China have been trying to improve their relationship after a deal to reduce tensions in October 2024.

However, there are still trust issues, especially in how they report their diplomatic meetings.

China often says India agrees with its positions on Taiwan and Tibet, but India denies this.

India points out that China is occupying parts of Indian territory and objects to Chinese projects there.

China uses these reports to show strength at home and influence other countries, but India always corrects the record.

This makes it hard to build trust between the two countries.
