From May 23 to June 5, 2024, the Global Times Institute (GTI) conducted a survey in China and India, gathering opinions on India's role on the global stage, China-India relations, and India-US relations. In China, 1,440 valid samples were collected through online surveys. In India, 1,466 valid samples were collected through online surveys and face-to-face interviews, in four languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, and Bengali.

Nearly 70 percent (69 percent) of Chinese respondents hope to visit India in the future, a much higher percentage compared to Indian respondents' willingness to visit China.

2024年5月23日至6月5日，环球时报研究所（GTI）在中国和印度进行了一项调查，就印度在全球舞台上的作用、中印关系和印美关系收集了意见。在中国，通过在线调查收集了1440个有效样本。在印度，通过在线调查和面对面访谈，以英语、印地语、泰米尔语和孟加拉语四种语言收集了1466份有效样本。

近70%（69%）的中国受访者希望未来访问印度，这一比例远高于印度受访者访问中国的意愿。

Tourism (89 percent) is the primary reason for Chinese respondents to visit India, significantly higher than other reasons. Nearly 30 percent of respondents also hope to visit India for short-term business trips or visits.

The most desired Indian cities for Chinese respondents are Mumbai (56 percent) and New Delhi (51 percent), with nearly a quarter also interested in visiting Kolkata and Bangalore.

In comparison, nearly half (48 percent) of Indian respondents hope to visit China in the future. Indian respondents show a higher willingness to study, work, or immigrate to China. Beiing (51 percent) and Shanghai (49 percent) are the most desired Chinese cities for Indian respondents, with over 20 percent also wanting to visit Shenzhen.

去印度旅游（89%）是中国受访者想要访问印度的主要原因，明显高于其他原因。近30%的受访者还希望访问印度进行短期商务旅行或访问。

中国受访者最喜欢的印度城市是孟买（56%）和新德里（51%），近四分之一的人也有兴趣访问加尔各答和班加罗尔。

相比之下，近一半（48%）的印度受访者希望未来访问中国。印度受访者对去中国的学习、工作或移民意愿更高。北京（51%）和上海（49%）是印度受访者最想去的中国城市，超过20%的人也想去深圳。

More than half of the Chinese respondents have consumed Indian literature, films, or variety shows, and nearly 30 percent have purchased Indian products. Additionally, nearly 30 percent of Chinese respondents have limited knowledge and contact with India and Indian affairs.

Ninety percent of Chinese respondents have watched the Indian films listed in the survey, with over 40 percent having seen Dangal and 3 Idiots. More than 20 percent have watched Slumdog Millionaire and Devdas.

超过一半的中国受访者看过印度文学、电影或综艺节目，近30%的人购买过印度产品。此外，近30%的中国受访者对印度和印度事务的了解和接触有限。

90%的中国受访者看过调查中列出的印度电影，超过40%的人看过《危险人物》和《三傻大闹宝莱坞》。超过20%的人看过《贫民窟的百万富翁》和《德夫达斯》。

More than half of the Indian respondents have watched the Chinese films listed in the survey. The classic TV dramas Journey to the West (15 percent) and Romance of the Three Kingdoms (14 percent), both adapted from ancient literary works, have the highest viewership. Recently aired shows like Meet Yourself (10 percent) and Fry Me to the Moon (10 percent) also have relatively high viewership in India.

About half of the Indian respondents have purchased Chinese-made or Chinese-branded products; over 40 percent have used Chinese apps; and more than 30 percent have consumed Chinese literature, films, or variety shows.

The survey shows that in India, the most well-known Chinese brands are OPPO and VIVO, with awareness rates of 80 percent and 79 percent, respectively.

超过一半的印度受访者看过调查中列出的中国电影。改编自古代文学作品的经典电视剧《西游记》（15%）和《三国演义》（14%）的收视率最高。最近播出的节目，如《遇见自己》（10%）和《带我去月球》（10%的节目），在印度的收视率也相对较高。

大约一半的印度受访者购买过中国制造或中国品牌的产品；超过40%的用户使用过中国的应用程序；超过30%的人看过中国文学、电影或综艺节目。

调查显示，在印度，最知名的中国品牌是OPPO和VIVO，知名度分别为80%和79%。

"This indicates that more Chinese people are gradually recognizing India's development and see India as an important force that may influence the global landscape in the future. They want to understand the real situation in India through more channels," Qian Feng, director of the research department at the National Strategy Institute at Tsinghua University, told the Global Times.

"To further improve bilateral relations, both sides can start with less sensitive areas, such as resuming direct flights, stationing journalists in both countries, easing visa restrictions, promoting tourism, think tank exchanges, study abroad programs, and dialogues. This would prevent the escalation of discord between the two nations," Qian noted

清华大学国家战略研究所研究部主任对《环球时报》表示：“这表明越来越多的中国人逐渐认识到印度的发展，并将印度视为未来可能影响全球格局的重要力量。他们希望通过更多渠道了解印度的真实情况。”。

他指出：“为了进一步改善两国关系，双方可以从不太敏感的领域入手，如恢复直航、向对方派驻记者、放宽签证限制、促进旅游、智库交流、留学项目和对话。这将防止两国之间的不和关系升级。”

khushi2003.

They'll be highly disappointed not by the culture but definitely by the civic sense of our people and how we treat rivers, roads, specific places around us.

And mind you the only reason why our country will never be developed like China or Japan only because of the citizens of our country.

他们会非常失望，不是因为文化，而是因为印度人的公民意识，以及我们是如何对待河流、道路和周围环境的。

请注意，我们国家永远无法像中国或日本那样发展的唯一原因就是我们国家的公民。
