China, India are 'neighbours that can't be moved apart', says Beijing envoy, slams US

• Chinese Ambassador Xu Feihong stated China and India's development is from their people's hard work, not external generosity, in a veiled criticism of the US.
• Xu's remarks at the India-China youth dialogue appeared to counter US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau's comments about not repeating past mistakes with China.
• He emphasized that India and China are inseparable neighbors, but some parties try to amplify differences and profit from discord.
• The ambassador urged youth to think independently and foster objective understanding between the two nations.
• Xu called for China and India, as Global South members, to strengthen communication, protect developing countries' rights, and lead global development.
