"The Elusive Tipping Point: China-India Ties for a New Order is a timely foreign-policy-relevant book. This insightful book delves deep into the reasons for frequent diplomatic and strategic crises between Asia's two dynamic ancient civilisations with post-modern capabilities. Set in the context of seventieth anniversary of China-India diplomacy, the spotlight is turned on their complex search for neighbourliness and global good. Often a mirage, the positive tipping point in their state-to-state relations is traced through the past, the present and the potential future. A controversial missed opportunity in the past and a collective-win approach for the present are explored. For Beijing and Delhi, imaginative all-weather dialogue is the best option if they wish to stabilise their engagement for the uncertain future. Despite a deadly clash between their soldiers in June 2020, the two Himalayan neighbours have the opportunity to sustain their summit-level "informal meetings". Conceivable, too, are other avenues of China-India dialogue in a world already shattered by a pandemic called the novel coronavirus disease (COVID). Post-COVID choices beckon"-- English.
