India & World
By P. S. Suryanarayana
SINGAPORE, APRIL 7. The signs of a new rapprochement between India and China are genuine, according to political analysts who participated in a two-day conference organised here by the newly launched Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. This and other observations were made in the context of the scheduled visit to India by the Chinese Prime Minister, Wen Jiabao, from April 9 to 12. Formally inaugurating the School recently, Singapore's Minister Mentor, Lee Kuan Yew, said China and India "will spur each other to excel." Mr. Lee suggested that "what both must avoid is to be placed in opposing camps, one with the U.S. and the other against." This was echoed by the Dean of the School, Kishore Mahbubani. The President of the Brookings Institution, Strobe Talbott, told The Hindu that India and China were now engaging each other for "post-classical, post-geopolitical reasons." Arguing that the era of geopolitics had given way to "global politics," Mr. Talbott said an issue before India and China was to look at the possible "synergy" between them as they sought to address the winners-and-losers' divide caused by globalisation. While this was resonant with the conference's theme, "Managing globalisation: Lessons from China and India," the Professor, School of International Studies, Peking University, Jia Qingguo, said that a quest for a "win-win" framework of bilateral relationship was now on. This should be seen in the context of a sustained commitment to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and Beijing's new doctrine of "peaceful development," which marked an updating of the concept of China's "peaceful rise." Noting that Mr. Wen's visit to India "is to build a broad trust and understanding between our two countries," Mr. Jia said that China would "want to have a constructive strategic partnership" with India.
