Yeah, like the fox and the hare are partners. What crap! All nice sound-bytes for naieve gullible twits, but the day China recognizes India as a 'partner' would be the day the world ceases to exit. China views India not as a mere rival, but more as an adversary to be hemmed-in and check-mated at every possible turn. Yes, it's good to have cordial relations, but throwing caution to the wind and falling for all this baloney would be the height of stupidity.
