CHINA-INDIA: GLOBAL TIMES ARTICLES CRITICAL OF INDIA
The Global Times (February 20) criticised India for signing an FTA with the UAE and said it
was because of the pressure caused by the RCEP. It also compared India with Pakistan and
citing the CPEC as example claimed it is favourable to foreign investment and invites 100 per
cent foreign investment in a wide range of sectors. It concludes by saying "India is very likely
to face severe challenges if it cannot shake off of its fear of outside competition."
Another Global Times (February 20) article said that "Indian External Affairs Minister
Subrahmanyam Jaishankar recently has twice mentioned the China-India border dispute on a multilateral occasion at which China was not present. New Delhi may try to exploit the force
of the international community to embolden itself and further play with fire on the border issue.
Such a dangerous tendency is what China needs to be wary of."
