As exit polls pointed to the BJP's victory in general elections, a leading Chinese daily today expressed hope that the new government likely to be headed by Narendra Modi will be "pragmatic" towards China while adopting a tougher line on the border dispute and Tibet.

The experts suggested that while Modi could pursue a "more flexible" economic policy toward China, he may follow a tougher line on the border dispute, Tibet and the Dalai Lama.
