The warm gesture of the Chinese students, and circulation of the same by the Indian government's media arm, is likely to show goodwill between the two nations at a time when the relations have turned strife.
China has been accused of attempting to transgress in certain portions of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, since the onset of May this year. This has led to a military build-up on either sides as the Indian forces have effectively retaliated to the Chinese intrusion bid.
