The term 'Asian century' was first coined by the US Senate Foreign
Relations Committee in 1985 when discussing the Asian economic leap
forward. From 1988, diplomats and the media also started using the
term, further to the successful Deng Xiaoping-Rajiv Gandhi summit
held that December in Beijing, for which Vappala Balachandran,
under Prime Minister Gandhi's express directions, led a small team
of officials for more than a year of discreet 'off-line' talks with
key Chinese counterparts--separate from the official diplomatic
engagement. The Chinese-Indian thaw, which lasted until 1998,
prompted highly optimistic visions of a 'China-India Century of
Cooperation' enabling both powers to compete with the US and EU in
terms of trade and military capacity. None of this happened, and
instead the China-India relationship is highly rancorous,
punctuated by trade spats and border skirmishing between the
People's Liberation Army and the Indian Army. New Delhi has
gravitated towards the US in the hope of checkmating an assertive
Beijing's pursuit of global military and trade dominance. This book
offers a comprehensive analysis of India and China's comparative
strategic capabilities, sharing many insights drawn from the
author's first-hand engagement with and research into the questions
discussed. The opinions expressed in this book are personal and do
not represent those of the Government of India.
