India has been an colony to Britain while China hasn’t, but these two countries have their own forces and similar ideas against Western power: India had “non-aligned movement” in the early period of its independence while China proposed five principles and hoped other countries should not interfere its policy. During its early years of independence, Indian president, Nehru, carried out “Advance Policy,” following the advantage of British colonized. India thus had confrontations at the borders with China in 1962 and had bad relationship with China for years. However, due to mutual visits from both leaders of both sides to each other, they had more thorough understanding toward each other. On November, 1996, India and China signed the “Agreement on Confidence Building Measures along the Line of Actual Control (LAC)” and “Declaration on Principles for Relations and Comprehensive Cooperation Between the Republic of India and the People's Republic of China ” in 2003 for securing the relationship between China and India. In 2005, Jia-bao Wen visited India and his visit showed the improvement between two sides. However, the intimate relationship between China and India arouses attentions from the U.S. and the Soviet. In April, 2002, India spent 146 million U.S. dollars to purchase weapons from the U.S. This has been the first time since 10 years ago that India bought military utilities from the U.S. In 2003, the Bush government raised its military assistance to India from 7 million U.S. dollars to 75 million U.S. dollars. In March, 2005, the U.S. announced that India should be included as “the main country of worldly power in the 21st century.” This shows the U.S. has guaranteed its assistance for India. In December, 2002, the Soviet also signed “Dali Declaration” and announced its military alliance with India. The growing power of India makes the U.S. and the Soviet adjust their policies with India. Meanwhile, the relationship between China and the U.S. gets closer in recent years and the deficient in the balance of trade makes them depend on each other more deeply. William Perry, the ex-minister of Defense of the U.S., once claimed that America in the 21st century should take the policy of “Preventive Defense.” He also considered that the U.S. should take its chance to influence China and make it as a “partner” instead of “enemy”. In 2004, China signed the military strategy with the Soviet and solved the border problem. I hope to study the Sino-Indian Relation and to find how it influences the Asian-Pacific Security. Meanwhile, I also wish to find some brief conclusions in this area.
