The View from China

By Zhiqun Zhu

Zhiqun Zhu, PhD, is director of the China Institute and an associate professor of political science and international relations at Bucknell University.

India and China, two of the oldest civilizations, had friendly relations and learned from each other in history. As Rabindranath Tagore put it, “China and India are very old and beloved brothers.”

The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, or Panchsheel Agreement of 1954, was a milestone of India-China brotherhood and long guided their relations.  The 1962 border war cast a long shadow on the relationship, and with geo-political changes since then, the strategic relationship has not been able to reach its previous height.
