Awakened Sino-India Relations and Their Unawakened Sub-National Relations

Press/Media: Press / Media

Description

Despite recent signs of stabilization in Sino-Indian relations at the national level, subnational cooperation between the two countries remains largely stagnant and closely constrained by broader bilateral dynamics. While local governments in both China and India have clear incentives and precedents for collaboration, political tensions, structural competition, and limited institutional follow-through continue to impede the revival and expansion of these ties.
