Is China a neighbour to be feared, a friend to be wooed, or a stranger to be kept at arm’s length? Is China’s rise as a superpower a result of a unique political model? Is it an intangible civilisational feature?
This collection of essays aims to demystify China and answer these questions. It is not an “India-China” book (of which there is no shortage) but a volume that aims to fill the knowledge gap, offering original Indian perspectives on China and the future of relations between the two nations.
What’s Inside?
This book features contributions from 12 outstanding Indian scholars and experts. It is a unique volume that provides an in-depth look at China through four main sections:
Politics: This section offers a comprehensive and nuanced examination of the Chinese Communist Party’s operations and the political trends of the Xi Jinping era.
Economy: Analysing China’s economic rise and its changing technology landscape, this section also examines the factors behind its slowing economy and the implications for India.
China & India: From evolving bilateral ties to military modernisation and the boundary question, this section examines different facets of China’s relations with India.
China & the World: This section features essays on China’s perspective on its place in the world, India’s role within that vision, and its expanding relations with the Global South. The final chapter focuses on Chinese society and its evolving relationship with the State.
