India absolutely must be very very very good friends with Japan. And every time we go to Tokyo for Tea, we have to stop by in Beijing first to say "Hindi-Chini Bhai-Bhai", "China is our Most Respected Friend", "We are proud to share a happy, peaceful, and friendly relationship with China"..etc. And then we sell Japan Bramhos etc. Urge Japan to convey our regards to Taiwan...(All in spirit of Friendship onlee)..
