問題詳情

Dealings between India and China are stunted in many ways. Rich cultural links once existed long ago,from the study of eclipses to Buddhist chanting, but hardly anyone remembers that today, laments AmartyaSen, a Nobel-prize-winning economist. After a love-in during the 1950s, China thumped India in a borderwar in 1962, and the two have continued to growl over their high-altitude frontier since. Indians envyChina’s economic rise, but console themselves by pointing out that it is no democracy. Investment flows arenegligible. There are still no direct flights between Beijing or Shanghai and Mumbai, India’s commercialhub. And yet a huge shift has taken place in the make-up of Indian trade. When India began to liberalize itseconomy in 1991, the West still dominated the world economy, and it was to the West that India turned fortrade. China’s rise has now changed everything—for India, too. China is now its third-largest trading partnerin goods, and the biggest if you include Hong Kong. For China’s East Asian neighbors a dominant trade withChina is a given, but Indians are still trying to digest the development. Rising trade with China has beengood for India. It mainly imports Chinese capital goods, with firms benefiting from cheap and decent gear.India needs outside capital, and expertise in manufacturing and infrastructure. China must invest its surplusfunds abroad, ideally not just in government bonds—as mostly happens in America—and ideally incountries that are not about to go belly up, as may happen in Europe. Chinese investment in India is an ideawhose time has come, if only the two sides can conquer a legacy of mistrust.
