In a significant&nbsp;development <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/post-doklamindia-to-boost-infrastructure-along-india-china-border-22398">in the wake of Doklam border stand-off, China and India</a> have decided to hold &quot;Track Two&quot;&nbsp;meeting at Minjing resort hotel in the city of Cheng Du in China on November 3rd and 4th.

The Indian delegation led by<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/china-maintaining-sizeable-troops-near-dokalam-sources-21062"> former foreign secretary Shyam Saran would land in </a>China on November 2nd. The invitation for the &quot;Track Two&quot;&nbsp;was extended by China two weeks after the Doklam crisis.

Sources confirmed to WION&nbsp;that the task for this meeting is to understand both China and India in context of Xi and Modi, two powerful leaders of Asia who hold sway over their respective countries. The job of the participants would be to understand each other&#39;s concern.

Sources also said that both countries want to avoid a showdown like Doklam and to this end &quot;Track Two&quot;&nbsp;will have participation by PLA and military from the Chinese side. The idea is to know each other better and discuss contentious issues which cannot be developed outside the public eye. Issues ranging from belt and road project to terrorism would be discussed by the participants.

The issue of border dispute will be discussed between Chen Xiaogong and Jayadeva Ranade. Jayadeva Ranade is a&nbsp;member of the National Security Advisory Board and Chen is former Vice Commander of the Air Force of the PLA and member of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Professor Madhav Nalapat, Director of Geo Politics will address the session of regional stability and terrorism. His Chinese counterpart would be Hu Shisheng. Hu is the Director of Institute of Contemporary International Relations.

This visit assumes importance as many on the Indian side believe that China wants to understand India&rsquo;s concern on the belt and road project.

Sources have also told WION that the thrust would be to ensure that in future a situation like Doklam doesn&rsquo;t arise and China gets to understand the Indian mind under Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s dispensation.

Dipankar Banerjee, the Director of Institute of Peace and Conflict in India and Ashok Kantha from Vivekananda Foundation will also attend the &quot;Track Two&quot; meeting.

Post-Doklam, India to hold 'Track Two' meeting inside China

A day after <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/xi-joins-mao-in-communist-constitution-tightening-grip-on-china-22842">President Xi was formally re-appointed as the head of the Communist Party</a> of China, Jinping today unveiled his new politburo members.

China on Tuesday had enshrined&nbsp;<a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/chinas-communist-party-endorses-president-xi-for-second-five-year-term-22790">Xi Jinping&#39;s name in the Chinese Party constitution, elevating his status </a>to the pantheon of China&#39;s great leaders alongside Chairman Mao and market reformer&nbsp;Deng Xiaoping.

The country&#39;s new Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) consists of President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and newcomers Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng.

&quot;We have just held the first plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee and elected a new central leadership. I was re-elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee. I see this as not just approval of my work, but also encouragement that will spur me on,&quot; Xi said.

&quot;Now, I wish to present to you the other six newly elected members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau: Comrade Li Keqiang, Comrade Li Zhanshu, Comrade Wang Yang, Comrade Wang Huning, Comrade Zhao Leji, and Comrade Han Zheng,&quot; he said.

&quot;Comrade Li Keqiang served on the Political Bureau Standing Committee of the 18th CPC Central Committee, while all the others were members of the Political Bureau of the 18th CPC Central Committee,&quot; Xi added.

&nbsp;Speaking at the closing session of the Communist Party of China which was held over five days, Xi had told party workers to &quot;work tirelessly and forge ahead on the journey of realising the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.&quot;

The party congress had also approved the constitutional amendment to include &quot;Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era&quot;.

Xi managed to get at least two of his programmes written into the constitution - anti-corruption campaign that has brought down 1.5 million crooked officials since 2012 and the<a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/be-good-audience-china-state-media-says-after-india-skips-obor-15593"> One Belt and One Road(OBOR) initiative, the global trade</a> infrastructure project intended to increase China&#39;s influence abroad.

When he opened the gathering last week, Xi declared that China had entered a &quot;new era&quot; with the ambitious goal of becoming a &quot;global leader&quot; by mid-century.

At the closing session, Xi said the congress established &quot;the goal of securing a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and then embarking on a journey to fully build a modern socialist China&quot;.

Ahead of <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/brics-summit-day-2-pm-modi-president-xi-set-to-meet-today-19868">President Xi&#39;s re-election on October&nbsp;18th</a> by the Communist Party of China, India is being seen more as a &quot;frenemy&quot;, especially post-Doklam.

In a move which can be seen as a shift in <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/china-first-quarter-gdp-grows-69-per-cent-better-than-expected-14590">relations with India, China&#39;s right-leaning Global Times </a>in its op-ed piece said economic competition between China and India should not be just limited to the comparison of GDP growth rates.

&quot;China has done much<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/born-of-chaos-india-lumbers-amid-turmoil-says-china-daily-21017"> better than India in terms of poverty reduction</a> and raising living standards,&quot; the editorial said, &quot;thanks in large part to its effective and efficient policy implementation under the central government.&quot;

However, the editorial admitted that &quot;lifting the remaining poor out of poverty in China will be much more difficult&quot; compared with the past. &nbsp;&nbsp;

&quot;China&#39;s Gini coefficient, a measure of income distribution, rose from 33 in 1990 to 53 in 2013, while the Gini coefficient in India jumped from 45 in 1990 to 51 in 2013, according to another IMF report released in March 2016,&quot; the daily observed.

The Chinese daily said in India, cultural and political diversity &quot;increase difficulties for unified policy implementation&quot;, hindering the progress of anti-poverty efforts - a fact which many India experts would agree.

&quot;During the past three decades, China lifted 800 million people out of poverty, &nbsp;as for India, it obviously faces more difficulties in poverty reduction, with 30 per cent of its population living below the globally accepted poverty line of $1.90 a day,&quot; the daily said.&nbsp;

&quot;Given the consensus that high levels of inequality can do harm to the sustainability of growth, both countries have made great efforts to alleviate poverty in recent years,&quot; the daily said.&nbsp;

However, the China daily added that &quot;the key is which of them(China or India) can do more to reduce inequality and poverty&quot;.

&quot;The outcome will also identify the ones that have more genuine potential for economic growth,&quot; the op-ed piece concluded.
