Beijing, New Delhi Resetting Ties

It is too early to declare definitively whether it is dawn or dusk on the Sino-Indian borders.

The thrust is on diplomatic engagement in deference to the clearly emerging new world order. The United States has already declared by its actions that a significant part of its future is in the Indo-Pacific region. The area will preoccupy its attention and resources directed at retaining world dominance for decades to come.
