It is regrettable that some Indians treat China's increasing influence in Myanmar with suspicion and even hostility, a Chinese daily said on Wednesday.
Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi's recent trip to China has been widely associated with Myanmar President U Htin Kyaw's visit to India, with one Indian daily describing Myanmar as "a theatre of geopolitical competition between India and China", a Global Times opinion piece said.
"It is understandable to evaluate bilateral ties from a geopolitical perspective but China is unlikely to be interested in begrudging any increased interaction between India and Myanmar, " the Times said.
"In contrast, China would be happy to see more substantive help from India to (Myanmar), for instance in promoting Myanmar's peace process. "
