India Welcomes China's "Tone Shift" Amid Yi's "Good Momentum" Signal

  • China's FM Wang Yi signals "positive momentum" in India-China ties, inviting Indian leaders and stressing stable relations.
  • Yi avoided explicit mention of CPEC or Pakistan, seen by observers as a deliberate recalibration of public messaging.
  • Indian sources interpret Yi's remarks as "risk-management diplomacy" and "damage control," not a fundamental policy shift.
  • India rejects China's claim of mediating India-Pakistan tensions, calling it "speaking without facts" and unacceptable.
  • Analysts note Beijing's tone aims to stabilize its regional environment and soften India's strategic concerns, but core issues remain.

Why It Matters: China signals a "tone shift" towards India, but New Delhi views it as damage control, not a policy change.
