The trust factor between New Delhi and Beijing took a hit after China, joined by the United Kingdom, supported Pakistan at United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting on Monday against New Delhi’s revocation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir.
Indian External affairs minister S Jaishankar had made it very clear to Wang that both countries should be sensitive to each other’s core concerns. “If Beijing wants India to support One China that includes Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Hong Kong, then it also must support One India,” said a top official.
