China understands that India’s position on the world stage has been strengthening since the beginning of this century. India’s new prime minister, Narendra Modi, an aspirational and authoritative leader from Gujarat, one of the country’s most developed states, has promised to bring India’s economy out of a half-decade funk, enhance the living standards of his country’s have-nots, and boost the country’s standing as a global power.
中国知道，印度的世界地位自本世纪开始以来节节上升。印度新总理纳兰德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）是一位来自印度最发达邦之一——古吉拉特邦的有雄心也有权威的领导人，他承诺将印度经济带出五年来的踯躅不前，提高印度无产阶级的生活水平，增强印度作为全球强国的地位。中国的政策需要将莫迪的雄心与中国的战略目标协调起来。
