Tiger and Dragon on a Ridge Line: India-China Relations under Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping
Since 1950, when India established diplomatic relations with Mao Zedong’s China (PRC), the second non-Communist country to do so, India-China relations have seen sawtooth evolutions, alternating between shared views about a postcolonial future and geopolitical rivalry fraught with military escalations. However, the appointment of Xi Jinping as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China in 2012 and leader of the Republic of China in 2013 as well as the election of Narendra Modi in 2014 as head of the Indian Republic will create a new situation. It is this new situation in India-China geopolitical and economic relations since Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi came to power that this issue of Monde Chinois Nouvelle Asie sets out to address. India/China geopolitical issues (in link with the US, Russia & Taiwan) as well as economic and technological relations (digital rivalry) can all be equally developed. Proposals for contributions (in French or English) should reach the editors of this issue of Monde Chinois Nouvelle Asie, Jean-Yves Heurtebise (jy.heurtebise@gmail.com) and Yohan Briant (yohanbriant@gmx.com) no later than 15th September, 2023.
