India-China relations

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.

China's foreign minister met with his counterparts from Russia and India at a meeting dominated by discussions of the Ukraine war.

Former Foreign Minister Wang’s speech late last year indicated that China-India relations are likely to remain troubled for a while.

India’s Voice of Global South Summit was a test of China’s diplomacy.

The same sea lanes that China depends on serve India’s friends and partners as well.

The clash in late 2022 revealed much about the future direction of Sino-Indian relations.

Following the clash along their disputed border in December, there's little reason for optimism in China-India ties for the new year.

Inconsistencies between what China says and does will likely reduce the willingness of other countries, including India, to take seriously Beijing’s statements about wanting a reset of ties.
