在“印太”大辩论中定位中国：印度视角

Abstract:While the paradigm-shift from continental Asia-pacific to new maritime geopolitical framework of “Indo-pacific” may be a dynamic discursive to ensure strategic equilibrium amongst multiple new and old stakeholders，continued exclusion of China remains its most formidable limitation. However，apart from this exclusion in Western discourse，there remain internal triggers to China’s reluctance that reinforce such external responses treating China as trigger but not integral to their construction of the new “Indo-Pacific” paradigm. Also，driven by bean-counting of the realists，the contemporary discourses seem far too influenced by prophecies of inevitable Sino-US confrontation. These often miss nuanced responses in Chinese discourses that may not flow from its military might but imperceptible cultural and economic entwines. Staying apart has only been counterproductive. This is where India-that has substantial security and economic engagements respectively with both US and China-can perhaps smoothen this interface in order to make “Indo-Pacific” an inclusive，effective as also a sustainable geopolitical proposition.
