Abstract
Meeting with Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in June 2009, Hu Jintao expressed his conviction that “China and India are partners in cooperation rather than rivals in competition [and that] good-neighbourly friendship, mutually beneficial cooperation and common development serve the fundamental interests of both countries.”1 As if to vindicate John Garver’s comment that “such rhetoric [about India-China friendship] is, to a considerable extent…, an exercise in wish fulfillment” (Garver, 2001, p. 9), the situation along the Sino-Indian border worsened in the following months to the point that India announced the deployment of two new army divisions (36,000 troops) in Arunachal Pradesh by the end of 20102 — obviously responding to the fact that the “Indian military recorded 270 border violations and nearly 2300 instances of ‘aggressive border patrolling’ by Chinese soldiers”3 in 2008.
