When Narendra Modi wooed investors in China as an Indian provincial leader in 2011, he highlighted his eagerness by making a special gesture. He presented a business card with one side in Chinese and in red — the color that symbolizes wealth and good fortune in China. With Modi taking the oath of office as India's new prime minister on Monday, such attention to China is expected to be repeated. Modi, 63, led his Bharatiya Janata Party to an electoral landslide this month on a wave of optimism over his ability to revitalize Asia's third-biggest economy. Closer economic ties with India's top trading partner, China, will be high on his agenda, analysts said. |
