How the evolving ‘New India’ faces China anew
India's evolving economy and development have led to a mixed attitude towards China, with the country seeking to balance its economic ties with caution. Despite difficulties in obtaining tourist visas, India has eased restrictions for Chinese skilled workers and investment, reflecting its 'awkward position' of distrust and interdependence with China.
India's economy has grown significantly over the past decade, with its GDP doubling to 4 trillion US dollars in 2024. The country has also seen rapid urban development and a decrease in extreme poverty. However, India's relationship with China remains complex, with the country seeking to balance its economic ties with caution. India has set barriers for Chinese tourists, requiring detailed travel plans and documentation. In contrast, the country has eased visa restrictions for Chinese skilled workers and investment, allowing up to 10% non-controlling beneficial ownership from China. This reflects India's 'awkward position' of distrust and interdependence with China.
