There is lot of content in the media about Modi’s frequent foreign visits. Some are in awe and the usual naysayers critical of such frequent visits. This article’s main focus will be about engaging China and whether it is  “ModiFied” YET  or are things routine as usual? For India, engaging any country (including regular irritant Pakistan) in the entire world is not very difficult as the outcomes are predictable irrespective of positives or negatives.  Except China that is!

In all the bilateral engagem
