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.

One belt, one road to world leadership

Shekhar Gupta -
China's superpower ambitions are out in the open. India must move on from its 1962 mindset & respond strategically.

What Modi established with Silicon Valley focus

Shekhar Gupta -
The rise of Modi with a full majority in Lok Sabha has raised global expectations. That’s why there is a great deal of work left to do.

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.

Making sense of Xi slap

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.

Opinion

Stop targeting Galgotias University students. Focus on politicians instead

Akanksha Mishra -
Going through their Instagrams and dissecting their ‘statements’ is not the astute political commentary you think it is—it is time for us to back off from targeting 20-year-olds.

How a North Indian Muslim woman saw Wayanad—inclusive mosques, mangalsutras for non-Hindus

BJP needs to be Bengalified. Go beyond rosogolla, eat pantabhaat, know what’s hodol kutkut

Economy

High capacity usage, fresh borrowings & new orders — why FY25 could be a big year for pvt investment

TCA Sharad Raghavan -
Companies are borrowing more from banks and public. Economists say high capacity utilisation & growing new orders could set stage for renewed investment push by India Inc.

Defence

China builds road through Shaksgam Valley, India registers protest

Snehesh Alex Philip -
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.

National Interest

Frontrunner is letting the challenger define this poll campaign. Modi still hasn’t found a big theme

Shekhar Gupta -
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
