It sounds like another ploy being hatched by the Chinese Government to entice the Indian Government to lower its guards.  This tactic reminds the writer a 1962 slogan of 'Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai' which was followed by a forceful aggression from China.  What happened in that battle is a history.  I am sure India does not want to face a similar embarrassment.  If India has learned any lesson from that miserable experience, India ought not to cave in at all.  Needless to say, militarily and economically speaking, India is in a much stronger position than it was in 1962, and China realizes it.  Hence, these so called friendly gestures from China.  In my opinion, unless China gets out of Ladakh area, provides freedom to Tibetans, move out of Arunachal Pradesh, India should not give too much credence to these friendly diplomatic hand shakes.  Keeping a diplomatic door open for exchanging political and diplomatic dialogues, exchanging cultural and business deals as well as normal friendly visits are fine.  But that is where it should end.  India needs to continue working on military R & D and equip the Indian defense forces with the equipments and armaments second to none.  In my opinion, if there is ever going to be a war in that region, India will be fighting a dual war which will involve Pakistan and China together against India.  Hence, an urgent need for updated and 5th generation fighting machines for the Indian forces.  INDIA HAS TO BE VERY VIGILANT AND PROACTIVE OF CHINESE CHESS-LIKE MOVES.
