Criticism in the Chinese media about New Delhi's "adamant

Only 39% of Chinese respondents said they viewed Beijing's
relationship with New Delhi as one of cooperation compared to
53% in 2010. The number of Chinese who regard India's
economic advances as positive slid from 60% in 2010 to only
44% now.
Criticism in the Chinese media about New Delhi's "adamant
attitude" on the boundary dispute is seen as a reason for the
slide in public opinion about India. Inadequate effort to
explain the Indian point of view and build bridges with the
ordinary people by facilitating travel and cultural
connections is another, observers said.
Most cultural functions and film festivals organized in China
by the Indian government are poorly attended by the Chinese
due to bad canvassing and distribution of tickets and passes.
The India page on Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter,
attracts very poor response compared to pages put up by
governments of other countries.
Industry interaction programmes organized by the Indian
government and industry bodies are usually attended by lower
rung Chinese executives. Senior executives and chief
executive officers rarely participate, said Shanghai-based
country head of an Indian company.
 Eight British World War II airmen have been buried with
military honours in Malaysia, nearly 70 years after their
plane crashed while on a mission in Southeast Asia.
The eight were crew members of a Royal Air Force plane that
left Cocos Island on August 23, 1945, to drop supplies for
prisoners of war in what was then Malaya.
The plane wreckage was found in a deep jungle by tribesmen in
1991, but the remains of the airmen were not uncovered until
2009.
