Revaluation of India-China Relations on The Commencement of Xi Jingping’s Third Term

Jinping stays chairman of the military commission directing the People's Liberation Army. The long-speculated reappointment shows the leader’s success in centrally consolidating power in Beijing. The Standing Committee line-up is additional evidence that Xi's hold on power is unaffected by last year's tumultuous events including a grave economic stagnation, repercussions of the zero-COVID policy, the State’s increasing alienation from the Western countries and standing with Russia regarding the Russian invasion in Ukraine. President Xi has persisted to stare at the Galwan valley, sending a vehement signal to India. Due to China's growing influence in the region, the CBMs have come under less pressure. It has been intimidating in the disputed border regions between China and India, resulting in prolonged standoffs. China fundamentally rethought the nature of India's threat following the Doklam impasse. China is at a disadvantage due to the asymmetry of threat perceptions, despite their disparate national might. The growing alliance between the US and India enrages China. Instead of being merely temporary, the peace processes ought to be long-term. This would start with clearly defining the boundaries that separate China and India, and in the event of a violation, both nations should agree on the pertinent sanctions. To engage diplomatically, India and China must come up with original and sincere strategies.
