Chinese president Xi Jinping’s visit to India this week will likely be the most significant meeting between the leaders of China and India since Rajiv Gandhi’s visit to Beijing in 1988. Indeed, India’s leading business daily has gone so far as to suggest that Xi will bring along with him commitments to invest $100bn over the next five years. But while ties between India and China are growing quickly, such estimates remain highly unrealistic and risk saddling this burgeoning relationship with unrealistic expectations.
manbetx3.0 国家主席习近平本周的访印之旅,很可能将成为1988年拉吉夫•甘地(Rajiv Gandhi)访问北京以来两国领导人最重要的一次会晤。实际上,印度主要商业日报甚至表示,习近平将在此次访问期间承诺,今后5年对印投资1000亿美元。然而,尽管印中关系正在迅速发展,这样的估计仍是极不现实的,不切实际的期望有可能会拖累两国蓬勃发展的关系。
