China’s perception about India’s power aspirations
The flavour of the new festive season is obviously Sino-Indian rapprochement and for good measure. It’s actually suffice just to leave this with the broad understanding that the two areas thus far untouched by the engagement between the Corps Commander level talks—Demchok and Depsang—have been addressed to facilitate disengagement and subsequently allow patrols to revisit the areas to which they have been prevented. The issue on which we need the fuller consensus is the understanding that what has transpired between India and China in relation to some of the border areas is not a transformational development, as there is no guarantee how far this process will go, given China’s propensity to treat foreign relations as a collection of episodic instances, some positive and some negative. It’s of far more import to understand where the change in China’s heart came from and how this episode of Sino-Indian relations will be viewed by the Chinese leadership and think tanks. Just remember the border may see a restoration of the April-May 2020 status with existence of all the reserve forces and wherewithal slightly removed and not too far from the LAC; infrastructure development obviously cannot be rolled back.
