India-China relations

A journalist with Xinhua details the frustration of living in limbo amid bilateral tensions.

India’s quiet SCO summit speaks loudly enough as to the group's potential, or lack thereof.

Why have Sino-Indian border tensions exploded? Three factors are at work: the border disputes, the rise of nationalist leaders in both countries, and the impact of geopolitics.

New Delhi's relationship with Moscow, its Cold War ally, has remained strong. But Beijing gaining more sway over Moscow could prove frustrating for India.

The Maldives has remained one of India’s key maritime partners in the Indian Ocean neighborhood.

The divergence between China and India on border issues was on full display. Nevertheless, Li's visit to New Delhi still holds some positive significance.

“Territory is not being ceded by Bhutan. Rather, China has built a strong shi (strategic advantage) for itself by creating border infrastructure.”

Beijing would like India to put aside the border dispute and normalize relations.

India may have its own relations with Russia, but Moscow and Beijing’s closeness is a growing problem for New Delhi.

New Delhi will retain its partnership with Moscow, not to keep Russia away from China but despite Russia’s growing proximity to Beijing.

Russia and China are moving toward an alliance. Does India have the means to beat China at its own game with a counter-encirclement?

Chinese views of India are very complicated – but generally based on a sense of superiority and self-confidence.
