Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna will be traveling to China next week in order to strengthen the ties between the two countries. The relationship has recently seen improvement due to a trade boom and cooperation on climate change, which has shifted the focus away from a border dispute. Both India and China have been able to move past the global financial crisis more quickly than developed countries and are looking to capitalize on a decade of commercial growth that has made China India's top trade partner. Despite ongoing issues between Beijing and the United States, Indian analysts believe that it is in the best interest of both countries to maintain a strong relationship. The turning point in their relationship appears to have been the climate conference in Copenhagen where they collaborated on a deal despite facing criticism for obstructing a more ambitious agreement. Sanjaya Baru, former media adviser to India's prime minister, wrote in the Business Standard that there has been a noticeable change in the climate between Copenhagen and China, with a new warmth in China's tone towards India. Both China and India, the largest and fourth-largest emitters, are calling for rich nations to take the lead in slowing global warming, and are committed to ensuring that their own climate goals do not hinder economic growth. Despite lingering mistrust, particularly over border issues, Indian Foreign Minister Krishna is set to begin a four-day visit to China, following recent tensions over border incursions and the Dalai Lama's visit to Arunachal Pradesh. China was upset when the Dalai Lama visited Arunachal Pradesh last year, viewing it as evidence of his attempts to promote separatism. Both China and India now appear to be moving towards a more practical approach after tensions in 2009. India's Foreign Minister Krishna mentioned border concerns before his visit, and there is a feeling that both countries are trying to avoid escalating verbal conflicts. Indian Trade Minister Anand Sharma has expressed concerns about the Chinese currency affecting Indian industry. However, unlike the United States, India has chosen not to pressure China to appreciate the yuan, even though China is the world's fastest growing economy. The increase in bilateral trade has had mixed results 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, based on data from the Indian central bank. While there have been disputes over tariffs and perceived protectionist measures, India has recently launched more anti-dumping investigations against China than any other country. Despite these challenges, both countries acknowledge that their bilateral trade and investment levels are below their potential and have agreed to work towards balancing trade flows. The World Trade Organisation has projected a 9.5 percent expansion in global trade volumes in 2010, with expectations that two countries will lead this growth. However, Indian concerns about China's increasing military power may complicate the situation. The outgoing National Security Adviser has expressed suspicions that his computers were targeted by Chinese hackers. Additionally, the rivalry between India and Pakistan in Afghanistan could also be a topic of discussion.
