Council on Foreign Relations
Daniel S. Markey

Markey’s piece on India and China while agreeing that “the China-India relationship is remarkably stable in many ways. Bilateral summits and new multilateral groupings often bring the two Asian giants together in common cause”, it cautions that ‘an assessment of the overall strategic context shows that China-India border spats are increasingly common, Tibetan protests are worsening while Beijing’s stance on Tibet hardens, China has made other aggressive moves in the South China Sea, and Pakistan has done too little to restrain anti-Indian terrorist groups.’
