When India meets China’s Digital Silk Road

Abstract

India, in an attempt to upgrade its technology, has in recent years bolstered its relationship with China, particularly in telecommunications and digital technology. Despite perceptions of rivalry, China-India synergy in digital technology shows there is great potential for cooperation in their relations. While both India and China seeks to expand its technological influence in South Asia, it will be imperative for New Delhi to find a balance between both a competitor and beneficiary of Chinese technology in the region.
