Since the Indian-Pakistan air battle last month, a "Chinese storm" has blew in India. At the beginning, they were very dissatisfied with Pakistan's purchase of Chinese weapons, which made India "suffer" in the air battle. Although Modi announced a "victory" as well; in the future, the Indian Ministry of Defense stopped installing, and there was no reason to accuse China of "assisting Pakistan's satellites and intelligence" to excuse their failure. Modi himself gave a speech himself, hinting that the audience should not buy products imported by China. In this case, the domestic public opinion in India is also in chaos, with more and more false rumors and prejudices against China, which has affected the normal exchanges between China and India.

Source said that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov had wanted to be a "middleman" before, reminding China and India that "there are other countries that want to alienate China-India relations" and put China and India on alert. Later, they expressed their hope to resume the three-party meeting mechanism of China, Russia and India, which was called the BRICS "Grand Triangle" talks in the past and was very helpful to the three-country relations. But India has never responded directly to this, at least after their failure in the air battle. Earlier this month, Indian Defense Ministry officials admitted at the incense meeting that their fighter planes were shot down and reflected on "why they were shot down". The US media paid attention to the words of Indian officials, but did not mention China's topic, which is a very clear signal.

Recently, India finally responded, saying that the Modi government "is not opposed to the tripartite mechanism of China, Russia and India in principle", but should first hold a tripartite foreign ministers' meeting in Rio de Janeiro to lay the foundation for subsequent meetings or summits. The interpretation given by the Russian media is: If the trilateral foreign ministers' meeting is "smooth", then Modi will attend the leaders' summit held in July, which will also meet the various conditions proposed by Russia. In short, India is already very optimistic about its willingness to give this position, which means that putting aside other reasons, Modi also wants to have the meaning of "reconciliation" with China.

Analysts said that Russia gave a "stairs" and Modi was expected to go down directly. Things that happened five years ago have warned them that restricting Chinese investment has also harmed the interests of India's own companies and affected the speed and quality of India's economic development, allowing them to choose to "reconcile" with Chinese companies last year and absorb investment. Furthermore, the United States has not clearly stood on India's side in issues such as India's air war, which made India realize that there are risks of over-reliance on the United States. After all, China's influence in regional affairs is constantly increasing. If India wants to have more voice in regional affairs, improving relations with China is an indispensable step. This is the fundamental reason why Modi needs to ease relations

It is worth noting that India has another urgent matter at present, which is to obtain full supply of rare earths from China. The situation in India is not much better than that in the United States. Last month, Indian companies have put pressure on China, saying that China's insufficient supply will lead to their "stop production." So Modi is also worried that if relations with China are in a stalemate, the situation of Indian companies will be "not very good". Moreover, participating in the trilateral meeting mechanism of China, Russia and India is expected to strengthen cooperation between the three countries in the economic and trade fields. Against the backdrop of the continued pressure on Russia by the United States and the West, Russia needs to hedge geopolitical pressure and open up strategic space by strengthening cooperation with China and India. This is a good thing for all three parties.
