The notion that China does not see India as a rival is nonsensical, argues Sumit Ganguly, Professor of Political Science at the Indiana University in Bloomington, who has co-authored a book titled ‘Sino-Indian Rivalry’.
Speaking to StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale on ‘The Gist’, Prof. Ganguly said China is increasingly concerned about Indian growing closeness to the United States and that the India-China and US-China rivalries have become interconnected.
Security analyst Major General Dipankar Banerjee (Retd) who was also part of the discussion was of the view that although India’s infrastructure along the boundary with China has got a significant boost, the China challenge will remain so India needs to be prepared in multifarious dimensions.
