Global Times, a state-run Chinese newspaper, has launched a frontal attack on Indian media, reports The Times of India. Relations between India and China are not improving because Indian media have been criticising China and holding it responsible for preventing the country’s admission into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), the paper said. It also said that Sino-Indian cooperation on economic and trade issues were sputtering because “Indian products are not competitive” and that this was making India's trade deficit with China go up. This is the second time that a Chinese media outlet has lambasted Indian media in recent days.
