CHINDIA – the changing times of China and India bilateral relations
Abstract
Purpose – China and India are pursuing cooperative arrangements while simultaneously maintaining their own independence, especially with respect to foreign policy. Today, decisions
about cooperation are made on a case-by-case basis, opting for cooperation when necessary and competition where this strategy is justified. Maintaining a balance in a contradiction-ridden
relationship is important from the points of view of the national interests of both India and China. The purpose of this paper is to describe development in the notion of CHINDIA and provide some
pointers for maintaining the balance between the two countries.
