Ananth Krishnan first moved to China in the summer of 2008. In the years that followed, he had a ringside view of the country's remarkable transformation. He reported from Beijing for a decade, for the India Today and The Hindu. This gave him a privileged opportunity that few Indians have had -- to travel the length and breadth of the country, beyond the glitzy skyscrapers of Shanghai and the grand avenues of Beijing that greet most tourists, to the heart of China's rise.

This book is Krishnan's attempt at unpacking India's China challenge, which is four-fold: the political challenge of dealing with a one-party state that is looking to increasingly shape global institutions; the military challenge of managing an unresolved border; the economic challenge of both learning from China's remarkable and unique growth story and building a closer relationship; and the conceptual challenge of changing how we think about and engage with our most important neighbour.

India's China Challenge tells the story of a complex political relationship, and how China -- and its leading opinion-makers -- view India. It looks at the economic dimensions and cultural connect, and the internal political and social transformations in China that continue to shape both the country's future and its relations with India.

Simple, first hand take on China

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 22 May 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a first hand account of China by an Indian journalist which is simple and effective and also engaging like his articles in The Hindu. After reading this I have got a fresh perspective on China which we will not get from any other writer. China is always a country that fascinated us and more so now after it emerged as a super power. But the country and its politics were always a mystery for the outside world. This book will give us some perspective. Thank you Ananth Krishnan. Looking forward to reading you more

A Necessary Read on China

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 18 October 2020

Verified Purchase

Writing a book on China is fraught with several challenges due to contemporary Indian and world affairs. The Pandemic has changed the equation and to present an objective book which is grounded in reality is a challenge in itself. Yet Ananth Krishnan succeeds surprisingly.

The book is part travelogue and has first hand interviews of several people right from the common men to power players at the top. Since the inception of China in the year 1949 the political landscape has consistently shifted like tectonic plates. He lays the foundation by tracing the change of communist China under Mao Zedong, to the economic liberalisation under Deng Xiaoping and finally the new Chinese Order under Xi Jinping.

The Most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, has created a vision insisting the success of a unique socio-economic system which is followed in China and actively voicing it as an option for political and economic structure. China’s economy both its manufacturing and recently its digital services industry has achieved rapid achievement in the past 40 years.

The author points out that the success of China is beyond the widely perceived reason of cheap labour cost. He points out that the success would not have been possible without strong human capital both investment in education and healthcare at the grassroots level. He further writes that the success of the Chinese companies does not lie in centralised approach but due to successive delegation at the local level and competition among similar units - be it provinces or organisations.

He documents the evolution of Sino-Indian relations and their bitter rivalry from the Chinese aggression over India in 1962. Deriving from rich literature which the author has quoted in key paragraphs presents that the loss in war was a result of India’s failure in many accounts and tries to stay away from being too judgemental in stating that the border issues were a cumulative resultant of mistakes committed from either side.

China would soon surpass the USA as the largest economy in the world but it does not mean that the country does not encounter problems. The five times larger than India economy faces the threat of debt burden and negative perception created across the world regarding the way the Belt and Road Initiative projects are financed.

Similar to India, China’s ability to grasp its diversity is problematic as China tries to enforce a strict blanket of uniformity across all regions which has triggered backlash in the Deserts of Xinjian to the Plateau of Tibet to the island of Hong Kong. Studying China is essential for India not only to counter them but also to learn their best practices which can be implemented.

This book should find a place on your shelf if you are an avid reader of international affairs.

A unique insight on how to start with china

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 19 April 2022

A good book to start for someone who wants to know, what china is, a definite forego for Indian's as we have very little understanding of our major neighbour...it opened my ideas of how I seen china before with many preconditions...

This book is an attempt at unpacking India’s China challenge, which is fourfold: the political challenge of dealing with a one-party state that is looking to increasingly shape global institutions; the military challenge of managing an unresolved border; the economic challenge of both learning from China’s remarkable and unique growth story and building a closer relationship; and the conceptual challenge of changing how we think about and engage with our most important neighbour.

Ananth has attempted to explain the events that shaped the past and present relations between the competing neighbour and bring out the facts about India’s cultural, political and economic intercourse with ancient China.

A must read for some one who wants to understand the present China Challenge.

Unravel the China mistry

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 2 November 2020

Verified Purchase

The world is filed with Made in China products yet we know little about this nation and it people. China is emerging as the new preeminent power in the world. It may to be much to consternation of the existing super powers, however this is the reality and we cannot deny it. It is thus imperative, to understand the China way much like what people did in the 19th century and tried to understand the UK way or in the 20th century when they tried to understand the US way. China is also unique perhaps, because it has managed to rise to this super stardom despite being an authoritarian regime thus bursting the myth that democracy is an essential criterion for capitalism and innovation. Through this book I want to understand the China way and perhaps in the process get a glimpse of their secret sauce, without being moral presumptuous.

Must Read: Simple and Lucid

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 8 May 2021

Verified Purchase

Extremely informative and give the true glimpse of China’s rise and dispels long standing conclusion that the rise is a magic. It shares the problems facing China and how it aspires or rather managing to manage them. The section on boundary issue is a bit shallow but then it might be due to long discussions on the topic and already inherited knowledge. The books a glimpse on why there are certain things happening in India and why are they required to be done. I must complement the author for he has done a great job in keeping a record of all conversations and foremost kudos to him for sharing this knowledge with the world.
Thanks

Reality check for India

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 11 November 2020

Verified Purchase

This is one of the best books that I have read on China in recent times. An unbiased balanced work. It shows how much India lags China in the technology sector and economy vise. Our so called superiority in the IT sector is such that we have not been able to create one app that rivals Wechat Pubg Tiktok,etc. The govt needs to proactively help innovation and not just help a few cronies like Ambani Adani who have done zilch for the tech sector in terms of innovation.
India needs to invest in the learning of China, we need people to learn Mandarin, Nepal has already started teaching Mandarin in schools.
