Sartan Dume of the American Enterprise Institute,

writing his column East Is East for the Wall Street Journal editorial page,

about Narendra Modi attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting in Tianjin, China, along with many other nations,

dominating, of course, the Indo-Pacific, but it includes nations from the Americas as well.

The photographs, some of them included the suggestion that Modi and Xi Jinping, the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party,

were going through detente, that maybe Putin was part of this conversation,

Vladimir Putin of Russia.

Sadanan addresses that directly.

The difficulties between China and India are profound and not patched up by handholding.

Here's Sadanan to explain. More of this later.

That's 100% accurate, John.

I mean, the fact is that India and China have very deep-rooted problems.

They have a boundary dispute that stretches back decades and it shows no signs of resolution. And that the Chinese are by far Pakistan's closest partner and ally. They call each other Iron Brothers. The Chinese armed the Pakistanis. They helped them in this recent conflict with India.

So India may have reason to be upset with the U.S., but I don't think that India is in any position

to jump into Xi Jinping's arms anytime soon.
