Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna is traveling to China next week to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. This relationship has recently been bolstered by increased trade and cooperation on climate change, which has diverted attention away from a border dispute. India and China, the world's two most populous nations, are recovering from the global financial crisis faster than developed countries and are eager to capitalize on a decade of commercial growth that has made China India's top trade partner. Despite China's disputes with the United States and ongoing censorship issues, Indian analysts believe that maintaining a positive relationship with China is mutually beneficial. The turning point in their relationship appears to have been the climate conference in Copenhagen last December, where India and China collaborated on a deal amid criticism that they were hindering a more ambitious agreement. Sanjaya Baru, the former media adviser to India's prime minister, wrote in the Business Standard that there has been a noticeable change in the climate in Copenhagen, with China showing a new warmth towards India. Despite being two of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, China and India are calling for wealthy nations to lead the way in combating global warming, while ensuring that their own climate commitments do not hinder economic growth. The visit of Krishna to China comes shortly after tensions rose over border disputes and the Dalai Lama's visit to Arunachal Pradesh, a region claimed by both countries. Despite ongoing mistrust stemming from a war nearly fifty years ago, both nations are still working to improve relations. China was angered when the Dalai Lama visited Arunachal Pradesh last year, viewing it as evidence of the Tibetan spiritual leader's separatist activities. Both China and India now appear to be seeking a more peaceful approach to their border disputes, with Indian officials expressing some concerns about the situation. Siddharth Varadarajan, a strategic affairs editor, noted that both countries seem to be avoiding escalating tensions through verbal confrontations. Trade Minister Anand Sharma has expressed concern about the Chinese currency affecting Indian industry. However, unlike the United States, India has not pressured China to strengthen the yuan. The increase in bilateral trade has been both positive and negative for India, as they now face a trade deficit with China that has grown significantly over the years. Despite some disagreements over tariffs and protectionist measures, both countries acknowledge that there is untapped potential for trade and investment between them. The World Trade Organisation has projected a 9.5 percent expansion in global trade volumes in 2010, with the two countries expected to lead this growth. However, Indian concerns about China's increasing military strength may overshadow this development. The outgoing National Security Adviser has expressed suspicions that his computers were targeted by Chinese hackers. Additionally, India is worried about losing strategic influence in Afghanistan to Pakistan, its nuclear-armed rival.
