Sino-Indian Relations: Role of Pakistan
Keywords:
CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor), Border disputes, Relations, Region, Trade, Military, Neighboring, ArmsAbstract
The role of immediate neighboring countries in building Sino-Indian relations is very crucial. For instance, Pakistan can be a significant factor to decide the India’s relation with China. The study explores the intricately intertwined connections between the nations of India and China with reference to convergence of their shared cultural legacy, economic expansion, and development strategies. How this has fostered a closer relationship between the two nations, with a mutual aim of enhancing their global impact. No doubt, the protracted territorial disagreements, past hostilities, and distrust have also engendered a rivalry between the two factions. The burgeoning relationship between China and Pakistan has augmented the peril to India, as China’s military presence on India’s northern, eastern, and western frontiers has engendered the prospect of a “dual-front” conflict. It is an attempt to describe the complex bilateral relationship between India and China, characterized by both advantageous and disadvantageous aspects. Prior to formulating a series of conclusions that assess the areas of convergence and divergence in the relationship between India and China, the study undertakes a detailed analysis of the interactions between these two nations across a diverse range of factors.
