“China and South Asia”

Studies, Shanghai, China

As China goes global, South Asia and Indian Ocean are posited to play important roles in China’s
economic and security environment. Vibrant and emerging democracies, growing economies and home
to major religions of the world, South Asia juxtaposes culture, economy and politics. Regional
connectivity and development plan offer substantive benefit to the regions while changing the status
quo and introducing transformations. Regional cooperative mechanism is relatively weak and internal
rivalries lure great powers to play crucial role. China’s influence in the region is growing, the US is trying
to maintain status-quo and India is rising to go beyond the region as well as to protect its interests in the

Asian Century.
