This R&D covers Sino-Indian relations. Although both countries are BRICS members and are agitating for more influence in international institutions, India and China are also geopolitical rivals in Asia. India, the world’s largest democracy, has close ties with the United States, while China’s communist government has an uneasy relationship with the U.S. due to its role in North Korea and its conflict with Taiwan. India’s revised GDP figures show that its economy is now growing faster than China, and some economists say that India will have a faster growth rate in the long-term because its population is younger than China’s.
India’s economy, long a laggard, just matched China’s pace of growth in recent months. http://t.co/6sioV7kb5D
