Narendra Modi’s remarks in Japan of an ‘expansionist’ mindset of some countries have riled the Chinese official media which said the Indian leader is more ‘intimate with Tokyo emotionally’. On the contrary, a Japanese paper feels ‘concerns’ about China were apparently the major stumbling block in the inconclusive summit talks between Modi and Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe on Monday.
The Chinese foreign ministry declined to comment on Modi’s remarks of ‘expansionist’ mindset by some countries encroaching into others’ land and entering into others’ waters at a business interaction on Monday which were seen as oblique comments against China which has dispute with Japan over Senkaku islands in East China Sea. The official Chinese media on Tuesday warned against any attempt by Tokyo to form a united front against China with India at the centre which it said will be a ‘crazy fantasy’.
