Speaking to NDTV at the SCO Summit in China, journalist Shen Shiwei, founder of China Briefing, called the US tariffs on India a "huge shock" and even a "kind of betrayal," given India's perceived alignment with the U.S. He highlighted that the 50% tariffs and US pressure to open sensitive markets have surprised many in China. On India-China ties, Shen welcomed PM Modi's first visit in seven years as a "milestone," calling it a reset in relations, unaffected by third-party tensions
