China instructs India to focus on more important issues than changing names

As the G20 Summit draws near, China has entered the ongoing debate between India and Bharat regarding nomenclature. The Chinese state-controlled media outlet, Global Times, has published an article arguing that India should shift its focus towards more pressing matters instead of getting entangled in the naming controversy.

In the article, it is suggested that India's primary objective should be to use the summit as a platform to bolster its international influence. However, the piece raises concerns about India's 'Make in India' initiative and its recent actions targeting Chinese companies. Furthermore, it proposes that India must embark on a path of 'revolutionary reform' to attain 'revolutionary development,' indicating a need for substantial changes in its policies and strategies.

The article also sheds light on the ongoing political discourse surrounding the use of the title 'President of Bharat' rather than the traditional 'President of India.' Notably, invitations for the G20 dinner were sent out under the name 'President of Bharat' on behalf of President Droupadi Murmu, underscoring the significance of this linguistic debate.
