| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A China team from the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) had visited Beijing and Shanghai between September 21 and 27, 2008 and held several rounds of dialogue with the five think-tanks of China.1 Three major issues that came up repeatedly during the discussions were: (1) what India's interests are in East Asia; (2) what role the United States has in Asia; and (3) what perception China has towards South Asia in general and Pakistan in particular. In other words, China's broad security concerns seem to emanate from issues of evolving security architecture in Asia, changing dynamics of the US-China relations, and emerging South Asia policy. These concerns are, in fact, tied to the central crux of its foreign policy - that of China's emergence as a world power. |
