“If one were to focus on India-China ties in the context of Sunday’s failed talks, it is clear that the two countries have been drawn away from each other by global power politics.” Opinion | K S Dakshina Murthy
The failure of the latest round of talks between India and China on resolving their 17-month border standoff is a grim portent for the Asian region.
The fighting setback relations between the two countries by several years. It brought back memories of the India-China war in 1962 that led to a freeze in relations until 1978, when ties resumed between the two. A decade later, the then-Congress government of Rajiv Gandhi further normalised relations between the two and safeguards were built to prevent any conflagration on the border.
The question is what has changed negatively since the withdrawal of Chinese troops from the Gogra point two months ago. An unexpected event in the neighbourhood – the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan – has likely added fuel to the already tense relationship between New Delhi and Beijing.
While China cannot do much about the US, it has tried to take on Japan , disrupt trade with Australia and aggressively browbeat India along the 3,500 km largely unmarked mutual border. India said it had made “constructive proposals” that China was not “agreeable” to. Beijing was unable to give any “forward-looking proposal” as an alternative, said officials in New Delhi.
