Our PM has said in his recent visit to Malasyia, there is lot of space in world for both the rising powers India & China . But contrary to India , indistinctness in Chine’s policy has increased the fear that China will become more assertive as it grows richer and have real consequences.
This has set of jitters cross the world, prompting new alliances all round to keep them out of Chiness influence. India ’s strength and parallel economy rise has made it a perfect player with ability to counterweight China . Even China thinks so and working on encircling India in South Asia with its growing link with Pakistan , Sri Lanka and Nepal .
In the new geo-political equation,
No doubt the new spark in Indo-US relation is a result of this. After nuclear deal, India & US has tied up to lower the Chiness influence in African Continent. EU, Japan and ASEAN countries are also working towards strengthing ties with India .
This all is working in favour of India where India is definitely gaining ground with litter effort. So it may sound puzzling but “China 's fast rise is definitely an opportunity for India ”
