China and India have considerable scope for cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), as their AI capabilities are complementary in many respects, a senior Indian investor told the Global Times in an exclusive interview.
There is considerable scope for AI cooperation in areas that address common global challenges, including healthcare, education, agriculture, climate resilience, industrial productivity and scientific research, always within the policy frameworks established by the respective governments and international perspectives on responsible and secure AI, Mahendra Swarup, founder of VG Capital and former president of the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
AI is likely to become one of the defining technologies of this century. India's strengths lie in software development, engineering talent, digital public infrastructure and entrepreneurial innovation. China has developed significant capabilities in AI applications, hardware, manufacturing and large-scale deployment. "These capabilities are complementary in many respects," Swarup said.
The veteran on the front line of India's venture capital investment sector made the remarks amid improving bilateral ties and a certain level of liberalization of Chinese investments in India.
Chinese investors have historically contributed to the growth of several successful Indian companies, especially start-ups. While investment activity has been moderated by regulatory developments over the past few years, there has always been underlying interest in the Indian market because of its long-term fundamentals, Swarup said.
"If the recent improvement in bilateral relations leads to greater regulatory clarity and business confidence, the Chinese investors will once again evaluate opportunities in India, although the general sentiment is one of cautious optimism," said Swarup.
Amid positive momentum in bilateral relations, Swarup noted rising opportunities for entrepreneurs from the two countries to engage in practical cooperation.
There are several areas where entrepreneurs from India and China could potentially complement each other's strengths, subject to the regulatory frameworks of different sectors in both countries, the investor said, highlighting areas including healthcare technologies, clean energy, electric mobility, advanced manufacturing, climate technologies, industrial automation, logistics and supply-chain innovation.

"In whichever sector the complementary strengths of both China and India can be brought together responsibly, they can create value not only for both countries but also for global markets," said Swarup.
India has recently shown signs of easing some long-standing restrictions on trade and investment with China, with Chinese experts saying that the move reflects the country's growing recognition of China's importance to its economic development, and a desire to create a more favorable environment for improving bilateral ties.
There has been a gradual policy adjustment, including easing restrictions on foreign direct investment (FDI) in e-commerce, allowing FDI from companies with Chinese ownership, The Hindu reported on August 1.
With India set to host a BRICS summit this year, Swarup also said that Indian and Chinese companies can work together to promote the interests of developing countries.
India and China are both major economies with significant experience in addressing the challenges of development at scale. Although each country has followed its own development path, there are areas where companies from both nations can contribute meaningfully to broader development across Asia, Africa and other emerging markets, Swarup noted.
There is considerable potential for collaboration in affordable healthcare, digital financial inclusion, renewable energy, agricultural technologies, education technology, infrastructure, supply-chain development and support for small and medium-sized enterprises. These are areas where scalable and affordable solutions can have a significant impact on improving livelihoods, the veteran said.
Partnerships that combine technology, entrepreneurship and long-term investment can help create solutions that are both commercially sustainable and socially impactful. "As two of the largest economies in the Global South, India and China have the opportunity to contribute positively to sustainable development through innovation, responsible investment and constructive commercial engagement," Swarup said.
。此次泡泡玛特来到了新加坡举办了为期三天(8月23日至25日)的潮玩展,吸引了大量东南亚收藏者。

B | 然而原本应该是个充满欢乐的活动,却因为争吵、插队、打架等事件而闹得满城风雨。推挤、无序、插队,现场大乱据网友反映,“拉布布”展台是此次展会的一个亮点。此次展会将出售的一系列毛绒玩偶和盲盒、新加坡独家限量版的鱼尾狮拉布布钥匙扣,都是可遇不可求的稀缺物品。图源:poptoyshowsg@instagram由于现场不让彻夜排队打地铺,一些人从早上6点就开始在滨海湾金的会场外排队了。

C | 图源:bens_social_club@instagram活动刚开始就涌入了大量人群,现场人山人海。图源:Amy@xhs现场没有工作人员维持秩序,只有工作人员在主要购买柜台负责控制人数,一次只允许10-20人进入。从一位网友发布的视频中可看到在无人管理的情况下,人们为了能抢购到自己心仪的角色,开始插队、喧哗,以及争执。图源:rain.travelonearth@tiktok排队人群甚至一度与工作人员发生了争执,引来了警察的介入。图源:matchapotato@tiktok据悉,2名排队的顾客询问工作人员是否可以离队后再回来购买盲盒,工作人员答复可以。然而,当他们回来时发现盲盒已经售罄,感到非常不满,结果发生了争执,最终报警处理。从网友所发布的视频中可看出,当时除了排队拥挤不堪外,收银台前也不断上演“谁先买”的争执。图源:bangbangtang@tiktok由于现场情况非常混乱,许多网友在看到第一天的情况后纷纷表示不再参加。

D | 拉布布IP盲盒第一天就被取消为避免新加坡泡泡玛特潮玩展的混乱情况再度上演,主办方在展览第一天便通过Instagram发布通知,表示拉布布的盲盒和玩偶将不再对外销售。

E | 图源:poptoyshowsg@instagram对此,网友纷纷在评论区表示泡泡玛特应该允许大家退票,因为许多人是专门为拉布布而来的。图源:poptoyshowsg@instagram然而,也有网友认为展览本不只是拉布布专场,主办方不应承担全部责任,减少人群也有助于遏制黄牛现象,让真正的收藏家能够享受展览。图源:poptoyshowsg@instagram泡泡玛特的狂热并非首次出现。今年4月,泰国的泡泡玛特展也因人潮拥挤和盲盒抢购的热情而陷入混乱。因此,许多网友希望未来的展览能更加有序,并加强人流管理。AY丨编辑HQ丨编审tiktok、xhs、inst丨来源tiktok、xhs、inst丨图源。
