Arunachal Pradesh: A Crux of Sino-Indian Rivalry

Abstract

Few bilateral relationships have the potential to transform geopolitics like that between China and India. The two states' policies directly affect a collective 2.5 billion individuals, or one-fifth of the world's population, and influence Asia's overall stability and development. China and India are projected to be the world's first and third largest economies by 2025, respectively. Cooperation and/or competition between the states will, therefore, shape the regional and global systems for the medium to long terms.
