India-China relations

As if the Dalai Lama’s month-long visit to Ladakh wasn’t enough to infuriate China, India last week flew him to a remote village there in a military aircraft.

What do hard times in China-US relations portend for other stakeholders in a “free, open, inclusive and rules based” Indo-Pacific, such as India? 

Beijing’s statements on China-India relations should be reassuring, but China’s repeated aggressive moves do not give India much confidence that Beijing means what it says.

Has New Delhi accepted China’s advancing occupation of the Doklam plateau as a fait accompli?

Beijing is keen to swiftly normalize relations with India so that the Indian PM attends the upcoming BRICS summit in China.

While differences between the U.S. and India have widened, Beijing and New Delhi have made similar statements on the Ukraine conflict.

No doubt, India’s foreign policy is at crossroads.

China's inclusion in the Olympic torch relay of a PLA commander who participated in the assault on Indian soldiers at Galwan Valley in June 2020 prompted the Indian move.

The long tradition of scholarship on Indo-Chinese relations is finally encountering growing interest in the subject.

India is not completely dependent on Chinese technologies in its power plants, but New Delhi wants to further decrease what reliance does exist.

The United States and China aren’t satisfied with their relationship, but both sides appear to be interested in managing their differences.
