The India-China rivalry continues despite increasing relationships and cooperation between the two Asian regional and potential world powers. This situation is one of my favorite topics regarding geo-politics and one that I believe will seriously be a major issue in the future. This article from AsiaTimes describes the current state of affairs between China and India and the writer feels that recent and ongoing cooperation cannot potential strategic competition. Laudably the writer does not provide any exagerrated and erroneous accounts of future war or conflict, instead he believes both countries will try hard to boost their strength and maintain an independent foreign policy whilst improve on relationships with neighboring countries including each other. This will no doubt be for the benefit of Asia and the world to have more powerful but peaceful nations which can reduce the hegemony of the US and Western dominance.
