Piqued over Japan's warm ties with India, an influential Chinese daily Tuesday said New Delhi's wisdom lay in dealing with its disputes with Beijing calmly, undisturbed by "internal and international provocateurs".
As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh undertook a visit to Tokyo amid reports of defence deals between the two sides, the Chinese communist party's mouthpiece, the People's Daily, lashed out at Japanese politicians, terming them as "petty burglars" on China-related issues.
China is locked in a maritime dispute with Japan in the resource-rich East China Sea.
"Before Premier Li Keqiang's visit, the China-India border standoff was hyped up by international media. The divergence and contradictions between the two countries were also exaggerated as if the Sino-Indian ties had been strained suddenly," said an article titled 'Sino-Indian diplomatic miracle embarrasses Japanese politicians'.
"But what surprised the media was that China and India properly solved the issue in a short time. During Li's visit the top leaders of both countries had sincere and candid talks and came to a series of strategic consensus and cooperation. The shift of Sino-Indian ties in such a short time is a miracle.
"In the development of Sino-Indian ties there are several divergences and contradictions. Some countries see these differences as an opportunity to provoke dissension," the article said.
But, it added, "China and India have great vision and great wisdom," and "India's wisdom lies in dealing with ties with China in a calm way, undisturbed by internal and international provocateurs."
Referring to Japanese PM Shinzo Abe's call to India, Australia and the US to form a "Democratic Security Diamond" with Japan to check China, the paper said, "Some politicians just made themselves petty burglars on China-related issues."
"The conspiracy of these petty burglars is doomed to fail," it said. PTI
