People in China's northeastern regions bordering North Korea felt the ground shake at noon 245 86274 external international pressures. The North Korean nuclear issue has now reached deadlock. In the face of such a complicated situation, China needs a sober mind and must minimize the risks Chinese society has to bear. The security of China's northeastern regions 245 86329 its nuclear tests can never contaminate China's northeastern provinces. China's strategic security and environmental safety is the bottom line for China in showing restraint. If North Korea crosses this line, the current framework for Sino-North Korean ties will break down 245 86409 nuclear test, we should avoid resorting to rash and extreme means by imposing a full embargo on North Korea. If China completely cuts off the supply of oil to North Korea or even closes the China-North Korea border, it is 245 86424 embargo on North Korea.

In a series of tweets, Trump accused South Korea of "appeasement" toward North 245 89794 on Twitter on Sunday morning. "North Korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to China , which is trying to help but with little success." Is this a red line? What constitutes a "threat"?

Trump has clearly given up on China and perhaps even South Korea, whose efforts to rein in Kim's nuclear ambitions have met with no success. So here 245 94011 response was mature, restrained and sensible. As the world watched with bated breath, Asias two most populous countries India and China resolved a potentially dangerous military standoff at Doklam.

In a candid interview with Sridhar Kumaraswami, Ashok Kantha, a former Indian ambassador to China and currently director of the Institute of Chinese Studies, New Delhi, talks about the implications on ties between the two 245 94075 nuclear-armed neighbours. Excerpts from the interview: Do you see the Doklam faceoff resolution as a victory for India? Was China under pressure to resolve the issue before the Brics Summit to ensure PM Modis participation? I would refrain from looking 245 94133 quiet diplomacy favoured by India. It helps both sides that a tricky and potentially dangerous stand-off has been resolved.

How do you see the Indian response of restraint? The 245 94272 which would have complicated the search for a solution. Bhutan also maintained its clear position opposing construction of road by China on its territory and counselling the latter to restore the status quo ante as of 16 June. As a result 245 94303 status quo ante as of 16 June. As a result, instead of being able to brow-beat Bhutan and India, China had to shift its position, quietly dropping the precondition of unilateral withdrawal by the Indian personnel before commencement of meaningful 245 94341 commencement of meaningful talks and come to an understanding on mutual disengagement which essentially restores the status quo. India and China are deliberately not challenging each others statements despite some variance. I would say that deft diplomacy by both sides has 245 94365 challenging each others statements despite some variance. I would say that deft diplomacy by both sides has given space to China to extricate itself from the corner it had painted itself in.

China claimed that it had intimated India twice in advance about its plans to build a road in Doklam. Do you 245 94459 has been my assessment that the Chinese action in Doklam is part of a larger pattern of behaviour in South China Sea and elsewhere.

That Bhutan and India could defy Chinas coercive diplomacy 245 94595 against Chinese unilateralism. Do you feel there was any real threat of war breaking out during the standoff? India and China have managed to maintain peace and tranquillity despite major differences on the boundary and the line of actual control. This 245 94623 despite major differences on the boundary and the line of actual control. This is a shared achievement. I believe that China too would be reluctant to change the present situation of no loss of life due to clashes between the border 245 94688 real risk of war breaking out during the Doklam episode, though one could not rule out some probing action by China if the face-off had got protracted. Despite the asymmetry in GDP and military budgets of the two countries, we 245 94718 asymmetry in GDP and military budgets of the two countries, we have a robust deterrence in place vis-a-vis China . This deterrence must be continuously upgraded to discourage any reckless behaviour by China. Will the terms of the agreement mean 245 94731 robust deterrence in place vis-a-vis China. This deterrence must be continuously upgraded to discourage any reckless behaviour by China . Will the terms of the agreement mean a loss of face for Chinese President Xi Jinping? Does he stand weakened 245 94794 establishment, though I doubt that it has weakened President Xi. Doklam was not allowed to become a big issue within China , though there was much sound and fury directed outwards. In fact, it was not trending in the Chinese social media 245 94824 In fact, it was not trending in the Chinese social media until its resolution, which has been largely welcomed. However, China should introspect as to why its rise and more specifically its assertive behaviour is causing anxieties among its neighbours. China 245 94844 China should introspect as to why its rise and more specifically its assertive behaviour is causing anxieties among its neighbours. China should shed the habit of treating its contested territorial claims as its indisputable territories; otherwise, there will be growing pushback 245 94891 President Xi and PM Modi began on a high note in September 2014 when he visited India. But after that China began blocking Indias entry into the NSG and UN sanctions on terrorist Masood Azhar. What went wrong? We witnessed marked 245 94915 entry into the NSG and UN sanctions on terrorist Masood Azhar. What went wrong? We witnessed marked progress in India- China relations, particularly as a result of President Xis visit to India in September 2014 and Prime Minister Modis visit to 245 94936 relations, particularly as a result of President Xis visit to India in September 2014 and Prime Minister Modis visit to China in May 2015. However, we have also seen a pronounced trend of China becoming more assertive and less sensitive to 245 94949 2014 and Prime Minister Modis visit to China in May 2015. However, we have also seen a pronounced trend of China becoming more assertive and less sensitive to Indias interests, concerns and aspirations on a range of issue, including CPEC, NSG 245 94999 sides in the public domain which has made the task of managing this sensitive relationship even more challenging. The way China handled Doklam has left a bitter aftertaste which is bound to affect perceptions in India. Yet, the resolution of the 245 95069 relationship back on a pragmatic footing. What does the Doklam episode and its aftermath mean for relations between Bhutan and China ? Are chances of any boundary resolution between them as good as gone? I do not wish to comment on the 245 95098 as good as gone? I do not wish to comment on the prospects of a boundary settlement between Bhutan and China . Despite the huge gap in the size, strength and resources of the two countries, Bhutan has held its ground in 245 95125 size, strength and resources of the two countries, Bhutan has held its ground in 24 rounds of boundary negotiations with China . Unfortunately, China has indulged in a pattern of creeping encroachments in Bhutanese territory, first through activities of Chinese graziers, then 245 95127 and resources of the two countries, Bhutan has held its ground in 24 rounds of boundary negotiations with China. Unfortunately, China has indulged in a pattern of creeping encroachments in Bhutanese territory, first through activities of Chinese graziers, then patrolling by 245 95204 there about the Chinese habit of creating new facts on the ground to back up its exaggerated claims. How can China and India put in place mechanisms in the future to avoid such face-offs? Or do you now see them 245 95308 as the differences on this issue and frequent stand-off situations are contributing to an atmosphere of mistrust in India- China relations. While the two sides have achieved mutual disengagement in Doklam, the underlying differences, including on the trijunction point, remain 245 98565 US monitors measured a powerful 6.3-magnitude earthquake near the North's main testing site on Sunday, felt in parts of China and Russia, with an aftershock possibly caused by a rock collapse.

While China , as the leading member, has taken a long patient view of history, it has more than four decades, of unrelenting 245 262739 unrelenting fortitude and perseverance, becoming a fast-paced country undergoing rapid change. As the host for the 2017 BRICS Summit, China has adopted a BRICS Plus model by inviting Egypt, Guinea, Tajikistan, Mexico and Thailand as guest countries. This is seen 245 262901 shift in global significance whereby in the future we will inevitably only have two dominant powers: the United States and China .

Xi's Xiamen speech points out a new path 245 264636 as a lighthouse to illuminate the world. His speech has significantly signaled to the international community that today's fast-rising China has earned the right to play a leading role in shaping the global order.

The signatories met continuously from August to October 1944 245 562919 and fashioned a basic plan for the UN, whose centerpiece was a Security Council in which the US, USSR, Britain, China and France would be permanent members. As an immediate response to a destructive world war, the UN reflected the reality 245 562963 that age. Nothing reflected this more than the composition of the Security Councils permanent members. Four were white nations. Two, China and France, were defeated nations. Two, Britain and France, were colonial powers. The other 10 members are elected members from 245 563076 for India to take a permanent seat on the UN Security Council around 1953 and suggested it be given to China because the seat was held with scant credibility by Taiwan. While it can be argued that a Security Council with 245 563237 times since 1946. Since 1996, Russia hasnt exercised the veto even once whereas the US used it six times and China twice.

This concept gained more relevance after the financial 245 622545 nations and offer a viable option to the present growth model in the world. The Summit being held in Xiamen, China is significant as it comes probably at a very crucial time when the world economy is in a state of 245 623203 these countries have to be straightened out first before real integration takes place. The present border issues of India and China have to be resolved to move meaningfully forward. Further, there needs to be a common minimum agenda that is drawn 245 628968 was believed by an Indian media, still in the throes of the 'war' rhetoric over Doka La, that this meant China would block India and any mention of terrorism at the summit. Fast-forward a few days to the actual summit 245 629164 Second, there will be those who will say that talk is cheap and remain skeptical of the respective wills of China and Russia (in particular) to assist India in combating terror on the subcontinent. To take a more measured approach, while 245 629344 regularly condemned it. Russia too has been largely clear in its condemnation of terror, particularly the sort that affects India. China has been a bit more reticent about calling out terror for what it is, and for the country, it's the 245 629404 that the group is problematic and that there is a need to tackle it. On the other, the fact that China extended its technical hold on designating Masood Azhar as a terrorist by another three months in August, is indicative of 245 629479 Azhar to be designated a terrorist. Xi Jinping's decision in this regard will go some way in demonstrating how serious China was about the Xiamen Declaration it just signed. New Delhi: The Congress on Sunday said it would be "remiss" of 245 629521 Minister Narendra Modi if he does not raise the issue of terror emanating from Pakistan at the BRICS summit in China . "The export of terror from Pakistan is a fundamental concern of India. After its oldest ally, the US has clearly 245 629589 he does not raise the issue of terror emanating from Pakistan at the BRICS summit," said Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari. China had said India's concerns over terrorism emanating from Pakistan will not be discussed at the BRICS Summit which started in 245 629724 La and work on the larger BRICS agenda on cooperation. But all is still far from well. For India and China , the next point of contention is developing, perhaps not in the form of a military conflict, but something that has 245 629761 but something that has all the making of a grand start to a prolonged diplomatic standoff Indias approach to the China Pakistan Economic corridor (CPEC) and One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative. China has bet big on CPEC, which it wants 245 629773 a prolonged diplomatic standoff Indias approach to the China Pakistan Economic corridor (CPEC) and One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative.

CPEC is also integral to the OBOR initiative anchored by China . It wants to grow as a world leader with its economic power and military might. For both CPEC and OBOR 245 629847 world leader with its economic power and military might. For both CPEC and OBOR, Indias cooperation will be crucial for China since no power in Asia can ignore Asias third largest economy. But, China may have a tough time in taking 245 629860 OBOR, Indias cooperation will be crucial for China since no power in Asia can ignore Asias third largest economy. But, China may have a tough time in taking India into confidence since the CPEC corridor passes through the contentious part of 245 629929 issue saying it is difficult for India to accept the CPEC since it passes through the 'heart of Indian interests'. China would have further risked the fate of CPEC and OBOR if it escalated tensions, as India can create hurdles in 245 630047 OBOR initiative on account of this reason. It did not send a delegation to attend the OBOR meet convened by China early this year. This point of contention is likely to escalate further. Just recently, army chief General Bipin Rawat had 245 630100 doing so by increasing defence and economic partnerships in the neighbourhood, especially in Pakistan, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. The China -Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) passing through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) challenges Indias sovereignty," Rawat had said. China, on the other 245 630117 and Myanmar.

China , on the other hand, has maintained that CPEC has no direct links to Kashmir, a claim India has not agreed 245 630144 that CPEC has no direct links to Kashmir, a claim India has not agreed to. There are good reasons for China to bat for CPEC. China has invested at least $50 billion so far in the CPEC, and has also promised 245 630149 links to Kashmir, a claim India has not agreed to. There are good reasons for China to bat for CPEC. China has invested at least $50 billion so far in the CPEC, and has also promised further investments. Besides, it also 245 630294 have much to offer beyond the usual rhetoric and general statements on promise of member cooperation. Particularly for India and China , although the Doka La problem is off for now, the damage inflicted by the standoff on bilateral trade and economic 245 630380 the Xiamen Joint Declaration of BRICS Summit is a tactical and diplomatic win for India. This is the first time China has let the names of these Pakistan-based terror outfits who exclusively target India be mentioned in a joint statement 245 630425 blocked India's attempts to do so earlier, for instance, in Goa. Just before the start of this year's edition, host China had in a media briefing indicated that it won't be "appropriate" for members to raise the issue of Pakistan's role 245 630505 Monday's turn of events. As the news broke out, some Indian TV channels enthusiastically interpreted it as a case of ' China dumping Pakistan', some said it was a 'resounding win' after Doka La. Let's be clear. The breakthrough that India achieved 245 630561 sponsored terror. But neither is it an unqualified 'victory' nor does it signal a dramatic change in Beijing's Pakistan policy. China is a rational player and all its actions are based on a hard cost-benefit analysis. Like all rational players 245 630623 turning the heat on Islamabad goes against its core interests. So how to reconcile the two apparently contradictory position that China finds itself in? Before we explore the reasons, let's take a look at the relevant portion of the joint-declaration 245 630719 and Hizb ut-Tahrir." It has been rightly pointed out that this marks the first time BRICS members (in effect, China ) have agreed to include in the joint declaration the names of specific terror outfits who operate out of Pakistan/ Pakistan 245 631066 not an unqualified win. While LeT and JeM's references strengthen India's case against Pakistan and may even be used against China at the UN, the reference to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is a dead giveaway that Beijing will continue to 245 631304 made sacrifices for this. The international community should recognize their contributions and sacrifices made by Pakistan." To infer, therefore, that " China has dumped Pakistan" is entirely inaccurate. What it has done is embarked on a tactical retreat, as it did in 245 631343 did in Doka La, and the move is based on hard rationalism, not a rosy Hindi-Chini-bhai-bhai redux. China is aware that India may try to use this as a leverage in again calling for a ban on Masood 245 631482 as a stabilising force in south Asia, geopolitical status as a liberal democracy (howsoever flawed) forms a natural counterbalance to China and Russia and any grouping that seeks to challenge the western powers-dominated global order with an alternative model cannot 245 631541 in this necessity.

Most of China , Japan and at least the U.S. west coast are in reach of such a weapon. With this warhead size the 245 905178 verbal "fire and furry" insults, tit-for-tat shows of force and further economic sanctioning of North Korea and/or China are, as predicted , only worsening the situation.

North Korea has offered several times to 245 905283 to stop all its nuclear and missile testing if the U.S. stops the large scale maneuvers in South Korea. Russia, China and South Korea have long urged the U.S. to pick up on that offer. The U.S. could have done so 245 906788 their best shot and came up snakeeyes, mainly because Washington doesnt want to negotiate, theyd rather twist arms (Russia and China ), tighten the embargo and threaten war.

In exchange, the other five participants in the talks ( China , Japan, Russia, South Korea, US) were supposed to provide North Korea with energy and economic assistance, respect its sovereignty, and 245 925563 members to impose the toughest sanctions ever against the North. Those sanctions could erode much of North Koreas trade with China , the Kim regimes economic lifeline. But the US cannot rely excessively on other countries to constrain the North Korean regime 245 925644 its alliances with Japan and South Korea. This ambitious goal is not without tacit support in the world: Russia and China have proposed that the US suspend its annual military exercises with the South, in exchange for a freeze of North 245 925718 weapon. The proposal highlights how difficult it is to mount an international response to the North Korea nuclear issue. Though China agreed to the recent sanctions in the Security Council, there is widespread scepticism about whether there is an internal consensus 245 925975 challenges. The Trump administration has assembled before it all the components of an effective North Korea strategy: Co-operation with China ; pressure on North Korea through sanctions and isolation; reassurance of allies, including by providing the most up-to-date anti 245 928163 However, the mutual investment among the five countries lagged behind, making up only six percent of their total outbound investment.
