INTERVIEW | Zhou Bo: ‘The Asian century is already here’

The Hindu  

Published : Feb 09, 2023 10:35 IST Senior Colonel Zhou Bo is a Senior Fellow at the Center for International Security and Strategy, Tsinghua University, Beijing, and a China Forum expert. I don’t believe it is a victory because it shows, in a very alarming way, how something that has nothing to do with India could become an issue between China and India. I think it would help tremendously because it is during Rajiv Gandhi’s visit to China that the leaders of the two countries actually put forward some general guidelines. “I believe the United States, along with Japan and Australia, would want to make Quad a kind of club that is against China.”Zhou Bo Do you think India’s membership of the Quad has been a factor in the downslide in relations? I actually believe the Indian government’s attitude is becoming slightly like India’s attitude before Rajiv Gandhi visited China.
