"This book examines South Asia`s perceptions of the rapid and phenomenal rise of China as a formidable economic and military power in the region. Underscoring how India and its neighbours in South Asia are looking at China`s rise from their respective vantage points, it shows that the varying perceptions comprise admiration, expectations, anxiety, and apprehension — and in some cases, all of them put together.
The different articles examine how China`s dominance is manifest through its increasing weight in global affairs, explore the political, economic and socio-cultural constituencies that help crystallise this perception, and project how each country`s relations with China are likely to be shaped by these constituencies.
India views China`s growing might with both appreciation and concern; for its South Asian neighbours, a rising China is generally seen as a source of economic support and a strategic balancer vis-à-vis India; and Pakistan stands as a category apart because of the `all weather` nature of its relations with China over the past several decades.
