    The leaders of China and India say there is now deepening trust between them after years of tension that includes a long-running border dispute.

    China's President Xi Jinping and Indian PM Narendra Modi met on the sidelines of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation (SCO) in the port city of Tianjin. It is Modi's first time in China in seven years.

    Xi told Modi that China and India should be partners, not rivals, while Modi said there was now an "atmosphere of peace and stability" between them.

    It remains to be seen whether or not this will lead to any concrete cooperation between India and China, but this meeting is seemingly another sign of the US' weakening global influence. The India-China rivalry has long played a part in both nations' foreign policy, so signs of future cooperation (maybe) are definitely a change.
