Sanjaya Baru | India-China: Bhai-bhai to buy-buy to bye-bye Published : Jul 12, 2021, 2:57 am IST Updated : Jul 12, 2021, 2:57 am IST China has risen on the foundations of its human capabilities and Indians ought to have a better appreciation of that.

The Communist Party of China (CPC) came into being 100 years ago, in July 1921. Communist China entered the international mainstream a half century ago, in July 1971, when the United States decided to come to terms with the reality of its existence.
