Summary

'Essential reading for all those interested in how India will deal with its greatest strategic challenge， an increasingly powerful China'-SHIVSHANKAR MENON

'Vijay Gokhale strips away the illusion that China ever shared convergent interests with India in Asia and globally。 A disconcerting read， but indispensable。'-ASHLEY J。 TELLIS

India's relations with the People's Republic of China have captured the popular imagination ever since the 1950s but have rarely merited a detailed understanding of the issues。 Individual episodes tend to arouse lively debate， which often dissipates without a deeper exploration of the factors that shaped the outcomes。 This book explores the dynamics of negotiation between the two countries， from the early years after Independence until the current times， through the prism of six historical and recent events in the India-China relationship。 The purpose is to identify the strategy， tactics and tools that China employs in its diplomatic negotiations with India， and the learnings for India from its past dealings with China that may prove helpful in future negotiations with the country。

Crisp yet detailed， Vijay Gokhale has written another excellent book where China forms the core subject following his Tiananmen Square。 Essentially the author covers the negotiations that took place between India and China in 1954， 1998， 2008-09， and the long saga related to the terrorist Masood Azhar from 2001 to 2019。 As you read the book， you'll get to see how India faltered in 1954 when it went from a position of strength to that of weakness with vis-à-vis China with respect to the questio Crisp yet detailed， Vijay Gokhale has written another excellent book where China forms the core subject following his Tiananmen Square。 Essentially the author covers the negotiations that took place between India and China in 1954， 1998， 2008-09， and the long saga related to the terrorist Masood Azhar from 2001 to 2019。 As you read the book， you'll get to see how India faltered in 1954 when it went from a position of strength to that of weakness with vis-à-vis China with respect to the question of Tibet。 However， India learnt its lessons and outsmarted the Chinese in 1998， following the Pokhran nuclear tests。 Subsequently， India has managed to see through the Chinese actions when it comes to diplomacy and has negotiated far better than what was the case back in 1954。 However， the author based on his experience as a distinguished officer in the Indian Foreign Service （IFS） and as an expert on China provides some useful suggestions which can be picked up while negotiating with the Chinese。India's greatest threat today comes from China and to understand the enemy， it is essential to understand how it functions。 So， in this regard， this book is a good addition to understanding China from an Indian perspective。 。。。more

This is a lucidly written manual on the Chinese strategy， when Chinese matters of international concerns are under negotiations with other nation states。 The author uses 7 historical points of negotiations between India and China。 He starts with the "ccp-led government's recognition" and the "tibet-issue"。 Though， the author may seem to be critical of Nehru， but in a way， all he is trying to convey is the unpreparedness of the Indian side in understanding the Chinese。 The book ends well， by proc This is a lucidly written manual on the Chinese strategy， when Chinese matters of international concerns are under negotiations with other nation states。 The author uses 7 historical points of negotiations between India and China。 He starts with the "ccp-led government's recognition" and the "tibet-issue"。 Though， the author may seem to be critical of Nehru， but in a way， all he is trying to convey is the unpreparedness of the Indian side in understanding the Chinese。 The book ends well， by proclaiming success while negotiating the 123， NSG and Azhar Mazhood's case。 The author has had long held a position （in the interviews etc。） where he has stayed away from commenting on matters of recent history （e。g。 doklam）。 It would be interesting to read the same book 15 years from now。 The world order would be quite clear by then。 。。。more
