"Chinese President Xi Jinping has said Beijing and New Delhi are good neighbours, friends and partners as the two Asian giants continue to improve ties in the wake of United States President Donald Trump's tariff war, which has shaken global trade. Xi wished Indian President Droupadi Murmu congratulations on the South Asian nation's Republic Day on Monday, according to Chinese state media."
"He said over the past year, China-India relations have continued to improve and develop and are of great significance for maintaining and promoting world peace and prosperity, the official Xinhua news agency reported. The Chinese president's warm words come as Beijing and New Delhi have reset their ties following nearly four years of border tensions and economic curbs that followed the 2020 border clashes that killed at least 20 Indian soldiers. Four Chinese soldiers were also reportedly killed in the border conflict."
"Following the 2020 border skirmish, India banned Chinese-owned social media giant TikTok and imposed curbs on Chinese investment in the world's most populous nation. However, bilateral trade between the two neighbours continued, crossing an annual $130bn. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled to China last August to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin and said he was committed to improving bilateral ties, indicating a growing closeness to Beijing, days after the US imposed steep tariffs on Indian goods."

Relations were reset after nearly four years of border tensions and economic curbs following 2020 clashes that killed at least 20 Indian soldiers and reportedly four Chinese soldiers. India banned TikTok and restricted Chinese investment, yet bilateral trade exceeded $130bn annually. Narendra Modi's SCO attendance signalled commitment to improving ties amid US-imposed tariffs, and rebuilding began in October 2024 after a Kazan meeting.
