Abstract: | This article explores the significance and relevance of the concept of China's peaceful rise and its implications for India.
Though the concept suddenly lost its usage and was replaced by a more modest term, peaceful development, the basic tenets
of the peaceful rise concept hold considerable relevance. Peaceful rise is a concept aimed at managing the consequences of
China's rise as a great power. Essentially, while it reiterates China's foreign policy of peace and common development of
all, it also indicates a paradigm shift in Chinese foreign policy. Since the essence of peaceful rise is to support a peaceful
international order, the concept imparts a peaceful relationship between India and China. |
