This is pragmatic-albeit temporarily annoying -diplomacy and statecraft-give and take negotiations for gains on the ground,reduction of tensions etc.Something "vishwaguru"Modi and company just doesn't understand or do.Remember when Deng and China had to compensate France and Britain and other European countries many millions of dollars for their loss of property/business etc in China The Shanghai Bund,Shandong,colonial businesses etc.It grated on me to no end BUT in the end to normalize diplomatic/business relationships to access markets,to open windows on knowledge/developments worldwide -it was well worth it-now look at China and its dominant power dynamics in EVERY sphere.The same can be said of the Sino-Japanese business/diplomatic initiative by Beijing -many times in magnitude of historic connotations,blood debt, BUT a sane ,controlled,pragmatic sense of working toward a better,fuller stronger future for China-look at the China-Japan dynamic NOW-no doubt China is ascendant and ascending.Glad to have lived to see this day-and soon,soon, full Taiwan reunification and further diminution of our enemies.
