While I appreciate the economic benefits, we must remain cautious. China's track record with border issues and supporting Pakistan in terrorism matters cannot be ignored. Hope our government maintains a balanced approach.

Great move! Joint ventures with China can bring technology transfer and create manufacturing jobs. This is exactly what Make in India needs - practical partnerships rather than just slogans.

As someone working in manufacturing, I see huge potential here. Chinese expertise in mass production combined with Indian innovation could make us global manufacturing leaders. Smart diplomacy!

I'm glad PM Modi raised the terrorism issue strongly. Business is good but we cannot compromise on national security. China needs to understand that supporting cross-border terrorism affects regional stability.

The SCO summit shows India's growing global stature. Working with both Russia and China while maintaining independent foreign policy is a diplomatic masterstroke. This benefits Indian exports tremendously.
