A Closer Look at the India-China Relationship from 2017 to Present

Abstract

As one of the first nations to sever official ties with the Republic of China (Taiwan) andacknowledge the People's Republic of China as the legal ruler of Mainland China, India marked thebeginning of the modern Sino-Indian relationship in 1950. The world's two most populated and fastestgrowingmajor economies are China and India. Their bilateral ties have become more significant as aresult of their growing diplomatic and economic power. Despite the military stalemate at Doklam inmodern-day Bhutan, peace was ultimately achieved between the two nuclear-armed nations. China-Indiaties had a rather challenging year in 2017. With military tensions in their disputed regions, escalatingrivalry in their immediate area, and growing strategic distrust, relations between Beijing and New Delhireached a record low in 2017. The relationship deterioration between the two Asian superpowers in 2017is fortunately not permanent. But also well under control as a result of the friendly connections betweenthe upper leadership.
