India-China relations

• 

China–India relations, also called Sino-Indo relations , refers to the bilateral relationship between China and India. India and China are two most populous countries in the world. These two major economies are growing very fast.

Both the countries started with signing panchsheel, in which five principles are mentioned to maintain peace and co-operation.

However, the relation between India and China has remained cold since the war of 1962 and the mistrust between these two countries have been prevailing since then. China, economy has developed itself at a greater pace and has established as the new economic superpower on the world stage. However, it has failed miserably on human rights, democracy and social freedom.

India, on the other hand, has managed to balance economic development with liberal human rights. Although it has not kept pace with China as far as economic prosperity is concerned, however, it has preserved its cultural diversity, secularism, democratic socialism and so on.

India and China have shown cooperation in BRICS, WTO, SCO, BCIM etc. These two countries have been engaged in vibrating trade and business. China is willing to invest heavily in Indian economy. India also wants to establish the lost cultural ties between the two countries. However, the deep-rooted mistrust, diplomacy and competition to emerge as superpowers have caused the persistence in the strained relationship between India and China. In spite of Modi’s aggressive foreign policy agenda, as evident from a plethora of important leaders and visits from both countries, the relation between these countries have remained cold.

present scenario is, China support to Pakistan on various issues, China makes obstruction in India’s bid for NSG membership and permanent seat of the Security Council, huge trade imbalances, dumping of Chinese goods in India, India support to Vietnam and so on.

But both the countries ties up when the situation arises to war. India is a peaceful country whereas China always tries to make trouble to India to hold it’s supermacy in chenese public.
