1. Engaging with an assertive China by Swaran Singh 19.12.17
Speaking in Beijing on the eve of his India visit last week, Wang Yi put forward the Chinese version of the Dokalam disengagement of 28 August. While praising the "sincerity" demonstrated by Beijing and New Delhi, he underlined how the two sides "handled the issue of cross-border incursions by the Indian border troops into China's Donglang (Dokalam) area... the Indian side withdrew its equipment and personnel". This is not how New Delhi projected it.
China bars external influence in its domestic politics while influencing the politics of other, especially democratic, nations. The recent resignation of Australian senator Sam Dastyari reinforces this thesis. This also explains why Moscow is drifting towards Beijing and why Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov was pushing for India's participation in the BRI last week.
