Relations between India and China have changed considerably over the past decade as China’s growth rate outpaced India’s, placing both countries in unique and different positions in the current global geopolitical context. This has been most evident in recent times with China’s open opposition to India’s NSG membership bid; its blocking India’s move to ban Masood Azhar, among other things, while India has grown increasingly closer to the US, and not shied away from a muscular response to terrorism emanating from Pakistani soil. Add to this Donald Trump’s victory in the recent US elections and what this posits for the future. In this podcast, Shyam Saran, a senior fellow at CPR, a career diplomat, and an expert on China, analyses the evolving India-China relations, and their future trajectory.
