    EyeOnChina: Xi-Modi BRICS meeting signals thaw in ties, the Chinese say it is at a fragile stage

    Chinese President Xi Jinping visited India after seven years, marking his first bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Indian soil since Mamallapuram in 2019. The discussion on the Chinese internet is more cautious than openly hostile or provocative. Much of it is critical of India’s handling of the border issue, but it also sees India-China ties moving toward normalcy.

    ThePrintPod: Indian hockey has a potential pool of 150 elite players. They deserve domestic tournaments

    Let’s not pin all our hopes on a four-team league that burnishes the top stars, forgetting the mad scramble at the bottom. We must build a calendar that breathes life into these regions year-round, taking the game back to the people, so young girls in Jharkhand, Odisha, Punjab, Northeast, and Haryana can see their idols in the flesh, not just on glowing screens. If we fail to lay this foundation now—as we failed to capitalise on the momentum after 1982—we will perpetually remain a team that flashes brilliantly in brief windows, only to once again torchlight its way through the dark for the next decade.Watch video blog by Sundeep Misra for ThePrint: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To read: https://theprint.in/opinion/indian-hockey-potential-150-elite-players-domestic-tournaments/3031040/

    NationalInterestPod: BRICS isn’t a front against Trump, US or ‘evil West’. It’s the most irrelevant of all such groupings

    India, China and Russia share more contradictions than congruence. Each has a different worldview, as also a different adversary. The rude fact is, BRICS is the most irrelevant of all such groupings. The three strongmen in this breathless buildup share more contradictions than congruence. Each has a different worldview, as also a different adversary. Russia is China’s ally—dependent, too, to some extent. India sees China as an existential adversary. And China sees the other two as so weak that it can determine the rules of the game, and be the umpire; first, second and third.
