China, The Centrist Superpower In India-Pakistan Dogfight

Press/Media: Expert Comment

Description

Beijing has invested heavily to become an effective peacekeeping state, putting up seven percent of the UN peacekeeping budget—more than Canada and Spain, according to Courtney Fung, a University of Hong Kong political scientist who specialies in Chinese foreign policy. The Chinese are engaged not only at a policy level, debating and designing resolutions, but also, increasingly, in on-the-ground operations, sending ‘enabler’ units to provide the backbone and infrastructure for missions as well as ‘tip of the spear’ front-line forces in such locales as Haiti, Sudan, Liberia, and Afghanistan. Nothing is better for India's—or the world’s—security than an engaged China, assuming the responsibilities of global leadership.
