'China's relations with India fragile'
Relations with India are "fragile", China's ambassador said yesterday, but the two countries can work together to emerge as a "world factory and a world office".
Ahead of a visit to India on Wednesday by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, ambassador Zhang Yan said trust was badly needed between the neighbours.
"It is a fragile relationship and it needs special care," Zhang said.
Taking up the view that Asia can accommodate the rise of both countries peacefully, Zhang stressed how both had different strengths -- China in manufacturing and India in the IT and outsourcing sectors.
