Abstract

India’s every bid for a high table has been a casualty of China’s obstinacy. Beijing initially lashed out the Indo-US nuclear deal, and objected to the India-specific Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) waiver; a few months ago China blocked India’s attempt at UN to ban JeM chief Masood Azhar, and recently it succeeded in not letting India enter NSG. Many assert that China’s defiant behavior is an offshoot of its containment strategy and the Sino-Pak strategic nexus. But one wonders, why would the land of Sun Tzu risk annoying a rising power in the backyard and at the behest of a failing and troubled state like Pakistan? Undoubtedly, China checkmates India at every forum but not for it is threatened by India’s rise. Is then China anguished and what for?
