Summary
Introduction
China and India, two prominent Great Power aspirants (sometimes referred to as ‘a class of two’), declared jointly in 2003, and later re-affirmed repeatedly, their mutual desire in developing wider and closer cooperation in regional and international affairs and, in the context of the World Trade Organization (WTO), in enhancing their cooperation in support of the developing countries.
While not under-estimating their potential for closer cooperation in broad international arenas, the realisation of such collaboration in international affairs will be hampered in the near future at least, as it has been in the last fifty years or so, by the existence of various triangle relationships, such as China–India–USA, China–India–Russia, and China–India–Pakistan, the unresolved issues (e.g. Tibet, national borders and regional ambitions), and the lack of mutual trust between the two countries resulted from its twisted history of bilateral relations. This complex and complicated relationship between the two Asian giants has now produced much discussion and debate on potential threat of growing powers, conflict of ambitions, rivalry for domination, competition for influence, partnership for multipolarity, and cooperation for international peace and security. Much of this literature is produced by scholars in international relations, political science, general Asian studies and economics; and much of the literature on Sino-Indian relations has left more questions than it has provided answers.
