Abstract
China is considered to be an important pillar of the security
structure of South Asia particularly in the context of
traditionally tense relationship between India and Pakistan,
the two principal states of the region. This article explores the
evolution of this important factor in South Asia and its future
trajectory at a time when the region is passing through a
significant geopolitical transformation in the wake of planned
drawdown of the US-led forces from Afghanistan. In this
regard, this article is divided into three broad sections and is
followed by the concluding remarks. The first section traces
the history of Beijing’s policy towards South Asia till 9/11.
The second section discusses its post-9/11 dynamics.
Following that the third section discusses the future of
Beijing’s South Asia policy and argues that the China factor
in the transformed region will be on the whole stabilizing and
constructive.
