Indian medicine wows Chinese diplomat: Soar throat, neck pain gone at minimum cost
Chinese Embassy Spokesperson Lauds Indian Medicine
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Yu Jing expressed her gratitude, stating, “Sincerely praise the Indian medicine, which cured my sore throat and neck pain effectively. Good quality at a fair price. Incredible!”
Her message quickly gained traction, accumulating over 500,000 views and drawing numerous responses from users who echoed her sentiments about the effectiveness and affordability of Indian healthcare solutions.
Social Media Reactions
One user highlighted the accessibility of healthcare in India, particularly noting how it often goes underappreciated despite challenges such as a low doctor-to-population ratio. “The ease of accessibility in the Indian healthcare system is something we don’t hype enough,” they commented, while another user added, “Indian medicine never fails to impress! Truly grateful!”
Suggestions for traditional remedies also surfaced, with one user recommending, “You can try some Ayurvedic medicine or drink kadha, a combination of turmeric, tulsi leaves, black pepper, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and honey, mixed in warm water.”
Diplomatic Implications: A Softening Stance?
Interestingly, Yu Jing’s comment comes at a time of cautious diplomatic maneuvering between India and China, following a prolonged and tense standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) since 2020. The ongoing border tensions, marked by violent clashes including the deadly Galwan Valley incident, have led both nations to tread carefully in their diplomatic engagements. Recent signs of reconciliation have emerged, with India approving some Chinese investments that had been on hold and both sides agreeing to “narrow down the differences” in their relationship.Given this backdrop, Yu Jing’s public praise of Indian medicine has led to speculation that it might signal a subtle shift in Beijing’s approach towards India. Some observers believe that this could be an indication of China’s willingness to ease tensions as both countries explore paths to de-escalation.The timing of the comment is particularly intriguing, as it coincides with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s confirmation to attend the upcoming BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia, in October. This summit could provide a potential platform for Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping to engage in further diplomatic talks, possibly paving the way for a resolution to the ongoing LAC standoff.
India Growing Healthcare Influence
In a related story, Mackenzie, an American vlogger known for her channel UNSTUK with Mac & Keen, also praised the Indian healthcare system. She shared her experience of how her British boyfriend, Keenan, fell ill during their trip to India. Initially concerned about finding timely and affordable medical care, she was amazed by the efficiency and low cost of the services they received. Lab tests were conducted conveniently at their location, with results delivered the same day, all for just $14 (approximately Rs 1,100). “I’m blown away, this is incredible,” she remarked, emphasizing the value of India’s healthcare.
