Abstract

This paper gives a review about the manifestations and achievements of Modi government’s “Issue Diplomacy” with China since 2016, discusses the causes and development of India’s attitude towards China, and analyses India’s thinking behind its “Issue Diplomacy” with China, and the thinking’s influence on India’s attitude towards its participation in the “OBOR” initiative. Based on these discussions and analyses, the author came to the conclusion that India is suspicious of the “OBOR” initiative, and whether China can dispel India’s suspicion actually doesn’t depend on China’s policy orientation towards India and its effects, but depends on the specific fruits that the “OBOR” initiative can achieve in other countries in South Asia.
