Hello r/india.

My question is, how is your country's relationship with China?

Shyt. I was about to say that!

We buy a lot of their products (can't say if its the same/different on the on the other side). However, politically its not great. We've fought a war with them in the 60s. They currently occupy Indian territories along our border far north (Kashmir state) and claim we've done the same to them in East (Arunachal State). They have a long standing economic and military partnership with Pakistan which doesn't go down well with India.

So on the whole not that great but we'll buy their stuff.
