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.
。更扎心的是，上一次在主场输给河南，还要追溯到 2009 年——换句话说，泰山球迷等了17年，才又一次在家门口被这支球队掀翻。赛后社交平台上，"韩鹏下课"四个字刷了屏。球迷的怒火可以理解：作为中超传统豪门，泰山本赛季的起伏实在太刺眼，主场龙变成了"主场虫"，这样的落差谁都咽不下。但怒火归怒火，当所有人把矛头对准主教练一个人时，我们是不是该先冷静下来问一句——把韩鹏换掉，就真能药到病除吗？先说韩鹏接手时手里握的牌。他并不是在球队高歌猛进时被请来"摘果子"的，恰恰相反，他是在双线作战吃紧、阵容老化、外援状态起伏的大背景下临危受命。一个赛季的崩盘，锅不能全扣在临时主帅头上。

三 | 很多问题的种子，早在更早的转会窗、更早的建队思路里就埋下了。再看对手河南队。别拿老黄历看人，如今的河南在中超绝非弱旅，防守韧性和反击效率都在线。主场输给这样一支球队固然难堪，但也不是天塌下来的冷门。把一场正常范围内的胜负，直接上升为"主帅无能"的罪证，多少有点情绪过载。当然，我不是要给韩鹏开脱。三连不胜、主场丢分，教练的临场调度、用人选择、战术针对性，当然要接受质疑。球迷骂得对不对？对了一半——对的是"球队该骂"，不对的是"只骂教练"。中超这些年，"换帅如换刀"的故事讲过太多遍。有的队一换帅立刻回血，有的队换了一茬又一茬，反倒越换越乱，更衣室人心惶惶，积分榜一路下坠。问题就在于：如果根子上的病没治，光换个"主刀医生"，伤口只会反复感染。泰山当下真正要回答的，是几个更尖锐的问题——阵容更新换代谁来做？外援引进的钱从哪来、怎么花？青训和一线队的衔接顺不顺？俱乐部高层的建队战略清不清晰？这些问题，韩鹏一个人回答不了，也不该由他一个人背锅。

四 | 所以我的看法很明确：下课不是唯一解，更未必是最佳解。如果俱乐部现在一纸通告把韩鹏免了，短期能平息舆论、给球迷一个交代，但三个月后呢？新帅来了，阵容还是那套阵容，短板还是那些短板，成绩就能凭空涨一截？别天真了。真正负责任的做法，是给主帅一个清晰的考核边界和必要的支持周期，同时俱乐部必须在转会、引援、梯队上拿出实打实的动作。

五 | 要换，也得是"换思路、换结构"一起换，而不是拿教练当成绩不佳的"挡箭牌"。说到底，泰山的问题从来不是某一个人的问题。球迷喊"下课"喊的是态度，而俱乐部的答案，不该只是一张免职令。看中超上咪咕视频！（罗掌柜）
