Do China-India relations need a reset?

IT has been two weeks since the clash between Indian and Chinese troops at the border. Despite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s acknowledgment that no troops intruded into the Indian side of the border, there has been sweeping nationalism in India that has led to the boycott of Chinese products and the ban of Chinese apps. Does nationalism override rational policymaking in India regarding China relations? Do China-India relations need a reset?

Global Times reporter Wang Wenwen talked to B R Deepak, a Sinologist and chairman of the Institute of Chinese Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University, about these issues.
