Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna is set to travel to China next week in order to strengthen the recently improved relations between the two countries. The focus has shifted away from a border dispute towards a trade boom and cooperation on climate change. Despite ongoing issues such as Beijing's disputes with the United States and Google, analysts believe that India and China stand to benefit from maintaining a positive relationship. The two nations have quickly moved past the global financial crisis and are looking to build on a decade of commercial growth that has solidified China as India's top trade partner. The turning point in their relationship appears to have been the climate conference in Copenhagen last December, where India and China worked together to reach a deal despite facing criticism for obstructing a more ambitious agreement. In an article for the Business Standard, Sanjaya Baru, former media adviser to India's prime minister, noted that there has been a noticeable shift in China's attitude towards India, with a new warmth in their tone. Despite being two of the largest emitters of carbon emissions, China and India are calling for developed nations to take the lead in addressing global warming, while also maintaining their own economic growth. Krishna is set to begin a four-day visit to China, following recent tensions over border issues and the Dalai Lama's visit to Arunachal Pradesh. The mistrust between the two countries, which dates back to a war nearly fifty years ago, still lingers, particularly regarding the disputed territory spanning 90,000 sq km. China was upset when the Dalai Lama visited Arunachal Pradesh last year, viewing it as evidence of his separatist intentions. Both China and India now seem to want to move towards a more normal relationship after tensions in 2009. India's Foreign Minister Krishna mentioned concerns about the border before his trip, but both sides seem to be avoiding escalating conflicts through verbal sparring. Trade Minister Anand Sharma has expressed concerns about the Chinese currency impacting Indian industry. However, unlike the United States, India has chosen not to pressure China, the world's fastest growing economy, to increase the value of the yuan. The surge in bilateral trade has brought both positive and negative consequences for India, as they now face a trade deficit with China that has grown from $1 billion in 2001-2 to $16 billion in 2007-8, according to data from the Indian central bank. Despite occasional disputes over tariffs and perceived protectionist measures, India has recently launched more anti-dumping investigations against China than any other country. Both countries acknowledge that there is untapped potential for trade and investment between them and have agreed to work towards balancing trade flows. The World Trade Organisation has projected a 9.5 percent expansion in global trade volumes for 2010, with the two countries expected to lead this growth. India is concerned about China's increasing military power, as highlighted by suspicions of Chinese hackers targeting the outgoing National Security Adviser's computers. Afghanistan is also a topic of concern for India, as it fears losing strategic influence to rival Pakistan.
