Topic: China

China is a South Asian country, sharing borders with 14 countries including India. Its significance lies in its rise in the region and hegemonic influence over smaller countries through loans and the Belt and Road Initiative. China and India have fought a major war in the 60s and have disputes over the Aksai Chin and LAC, and tensions over the Indo-Pacific.

Abki Baar, U-turn sarkar

Shekhar Gupta -
In his first year, Modi has shown boldness and pragmatism, whatever the static over cow meat, ghar wapsi, and has successfully pulled his government from the set RSS/BJP construct of ideas.

Shekhar Gupta -
Timed perfectly with Xi’s arrival in Ahmedabad was that of nearly a 1,000 PLA soldiers in Ladakh’s Chumar area. There is a pattern to China’s actions: it is testing India’s resolve.

Them and US

SGIN -
It would be an error to see in US envoy Richard Holbrooke’s uncharacteristic near-apology a vindication of India’s rising power. It is, though, indicative of the rise of a new & weakening America.

Opportunity, made in China

Shekhar Gupta -
The real threat against China lies in our minds, collectively, in our approach to it. National power and pride are no longer determined merely in terms of territorial size or integrity.

A new project Pakistan

SGIN -
India must engage with the rest of the world in search for that new creative solution which may, ultimately, be a variant of the earlier one, except Pakistan does not have a Musharraf equivalent.

Chinese checkers

SGIN -
China could be our threat number one, but it is more likely to threaten us with more plastic toys aimed at our markets than Dong Feng missiles zeroing in on Raisina Hill.

China unveils J-35A stealth fighter, with striking resemblance to US F-35. Here’s how they compare

Smruti Deshpande -
The Chinese aircraft has uncanny similarities to the American F-35 jet. There are claims that China copied the design. Cyber theft of F-35 design data was reported in 2009.

National Interest

Xi wanted to teach India about imbalance of power. We should take a budgetary lesson from it

Shekhar Gupta -
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
