The twenty-first century is likely to witness Asia's two largest
civilizations, China and India, join the United States in an elite
club of global superpowers. By some economic indicators, the two
Asian giants are already the second and third largest economies in
the world, and they are developing world-class militaries to
complement that economic clout. While Beijing and Delhi have spent
the past half-century free from armed conflict and enjoy cordial
diplomatic relations, elements of rivalry have shadowed the
relationship since the two countries went to war in 1962 over their
disputed Himalayan border. In the twenty-first century, that
rivalry has evolved in unpredictable ways, advancing in some arenas
and retreating in the face of growing cooperation in others. Cold
Peace: China-India Rivalry in the Twenty-First Century updates and
deepens our understanding of the China-India relationship by
unraveling the complex layers of the contemporary China-India
rivalry. This book draws from over 100 interviews with
subject-matter experts, government officials, and military officers
in India, China, and the United States between November 2011 and
July 2013. It also benefits from rare and unique field research at
the disputed China-India border in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh; at
the contested town of Tawang in the Himalayas; at Dharamsala, the
seat of the Tibetan Government in Exile; at the Andaman and Nicobar
Islands; and on Hainan Island, which administers China's South
China Sea territories. With 14 chapters dedicated to issue-specific
studies, including Threat Perceptions in China-India Relations, the
border dispute, Tawang, Tibet, the Dalai Lama succession issue,
maritime security, and the role of the United States and Pakistan
in Sino-Indian relations, Cold Peace provides a comprehensive
examination of the evolution of China-India relations.
