China's state media are promoting Premier Li Keqiang's India tour as a "dragon and elephant dance", showcasing the economic might of the two Asian giants.
Global Times says both countries have prevented border problems from derailing ties by prevailing in the face of "the West" and "media hype" about the border stand-off.
"Internal dissension between China and India meets Western interests... China's surrounding environment will suffer if India, a country which has the prospect of running neck-and-neck with China, becomes another Japan or Philippines in terms of its policies toward China," it says.
"In order to curb China's rise, the US, Japan and a few other countries have in recent years enlarged differences between China and India," says Wen Wei Po, a Beijing-backed Hong Kong newspaper.
In other international news, the owner of a fishing boat whose crewmen have reportedly been held for ransom by unidentified North Koreans tells Global Times that the armed men were most likely to be North Korean soldiers.
