Srikanth Thaliyakkattil

China's Achilles' Heel (eBook, PDF)

The Belt and Road Initiative and Its Indian Discontents

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses Chinese discourse on Indian attitudes towards the Belt & Road Initiative (BRI), and argues that the Indian discourse is becoming one of the biggest hurdles to China creating its own narrative about China's rise in Asia and beyond. In doing so, it spans across the themes of the power struggle between China and US, China and India, the Chinese perception of India, China-South Asia relations, the China-US- India triangle of power and the success and failures of BRI.

The first part of the book focuses on the Chinese thinking behind the launch of the BRI and addresses questions related to the purpose of this initiative and ways in which it will facilitate China's rise as a superpower. Subsequently the book addresses how effective or ineffective India's challenge is and how it is negatively affecting China's BRI.

Srikanth Thaliyakkattil is an independent scholar. He was previously a visiting researchfellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies, National University of Singapore. He holds a PhD and Master's degree in International Relations from Peking University, China.
