India-China Relations

India-China Relations refer to the diplomatic, economic, and strategic interactions between India and the People’s Republic of China. The relationship is historically complex and characterized by periods of cooperation and tension. Key aspects include trade and economic exchanges, border disputes, and regional security issues.

India and China share a long border, with unresolved territorial disputes that led to military confrontations, most notably the Sino-Indian War in 1962. Both countries are major powers in Asia, and their relations are significant not only for their own national interests but also for regional and global stability.

In terms of economics, both nations are among the largest economies in the world, with extensive trade ties. However, trade imbalances and geopolitical tensions have impacted their interactions.

In recent years, issues such as China’s increasing influence in South Asia, India’s strategic partnerships with other nations, and regional initiatives have added complexity to their relations. Diplomatic dialogues and agreements aimed at maintaining peace and stability are often pursued, yet competition in various arenas continues to shape the dynamics between India and China.
