Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and China's leader, Xi Jinping
  • India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi had his power pegged back in elections this week. 
  • It was also the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in China. 
  • It's a week that highlighted the contrasting political journeys of Asia's major powers. 

Narendra Modi's strongman ambitions suffered a setback this week.

His Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) party fell short of the landslide victory many had predicted in the Indian elections.
