The ‘Global Times,’ often seen as a mouthpiece of the Chinese government, praised India’s notable progress in economic development, social governance, and foreign policy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. The article, written by Zhang Jiadong, the director of the Center for South Asian Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai, acknowledged India’s robust economic growth, advancements in urban governance, and a shift in its approach to international relations, particularly with China.
Zhang Jiadong’s piece in the ‘Global Times’ highlighted India’s achievements over the last four years, commending its proactive stance in promoting the “India Narrative” and showcasing strategic self-confidence. The article observed that as India experiences rapid economic and social development, it has become more strategically confident, actively contributing to and shaping the ‘India Narrative.’
The ‘Global Times’ article by Zhang Jiadong noted, “In the political and cultural spheres, India has moved from emphasizing its democratic consensus with the West to highlighting the ‘Indian characteristics’ of democratic politics. Presently, even greater emphasis is being laid on the Indian roots of democratic politics.”
