China-a Threat to India
China-A Threat to India There has been a lot of talk in the past few months about the border conflicts between India and China. It has been all over the news and there have been a lot of discussion about whether China has actually become a threat to other Asian countries, especially India as it happens to be its neighboring country or will the second most powerful economy is not a threat and everything that has been said on news is just a bunch of trash. Well before drawing any conclusions I would like to put some light on some past history between the two nations. The very first difference between the two nations is the governments. China is a communist country while India is a democratic nation. In India even a common man has the power to oppose a government and its policies but in China it is totally opposite. A policeman can beat a common man to death if he opposes the principles and decisions of the country so even if China declares war on India the people can’t do anything about it while in India it won’t happen which actually makes China a threat. Also, around the world there has been a lot of talk about China being plotting about world dominance by expanding and developing its military strength. If that speculation is true then India is really under a big threat. As everyone knows China military strength is enormous and India is nothing compared to China. They also have Ballistic Missiles and more nuclear power than India. So India can be under a great threat if they are trying to achieve dominance. Also they have been gaining ports in the Indian Ocean and becoming close to Pakistan and have signed many treaties with Pakistan. As we go in history we all know about the Great Sino-Indian war of 1962. At the end of the war China occupied 26 km of India border. The US and UN provided military assistance to India still India did lost the war. But China lost its image among world countries because of its military behavior. Since then there has

    In the past few years China has started to have a great impact on the world’s economy because of its products which now can be found in almost every country. Having its goods “invading” the world’s markets the Chinese government is becoming richer and richer every day. If a country becomes rich, its goals start to rise and the will to have more power also rises, and its economy takes a big boost. This economic growth is what a country needs and mostly desires but the other powers see it as a danger to their economy and to their protection. A strong economy means a strong army which the country will create to protect its self or to mute other countries that oppose it. Since 1979 China’s economy has been growing 9 % each year and it has replaced the United States products in most of the Asian continent. Now days most of the Asian countries depend more on the Chinese goods then the ones from the United States. This is noticed from the comparison of the amount of goods exported from both these countries (Ross, 2005). After the market reforms made in late 1970s the Chinese economy has quadrupled and will continue rising more. China today consumes a third of the world’s supplies of iron, steel and also coal and has become a major manufacturing center (Ikenberry, 2008). The trends show that the Asian countries depend more on China’s economy rather than the United States, so is clear that the United States influence in these countries is becoming weaker. This means for the United States that the money is lost; products are not sold (Ross). Considering all these facts it is obvious that if China’s economic growth continues not only East Asia but also the United States will be threatened militarily and also economically by the new power.…

    * At this time, the United States and India share several differences, but one in particular is that India does not trust the growing relationship between China and America. “Many in India believe that the Obama administration has tilted its policy toward Beijing in a way that undermines Indian interests. Given China's close relations with Pakistan and continuing claims on Indian territory, India does not view Beijing as an honest broker” (Feigenbaum, 2010, pp. 76-91). India’s concern, for instance, the U.S. will not help relieve India if tensions riled along the Chinese-Indian border (Feigenbaum, 2010).…

    Although for centuries, the Himalayas served as a natural barrier between the Tibetan plateau and the Indian subcontinent, it was also a space of exchange for constant flow of knowledge, traditions and goods transiting up and down from far­away places in Central Asia, China or Mongolia to the entire subcontinent. But the drawing of borders based on modern nation state model so as to define territorial limits of every state has led clashes, conflicts and even war in international relation. The recent Chinese incursion in Ladakh adds another flash point to this debate.…
