Editing Foreign relations of China (section)

=== India ===
[[China–India relations|Relations with India]] have fluctuated greatly over the years. After years of competition, general distrust between the two, and several border conflicts, relations in the 21st century between the world's two most populous states stabilized, only for relations to suffer a massive hit in the late 2010s due to multiple border standoffs that resulted in deaths on both sides. While both countries have doubled their economic trade in the past few years, and China became India's largest trading partner in 2010, there is increasing unease in India regarding the perceived Chinese advantage in their trade relationship. The two countries are planning to host joint naval exercises. The dispute over [[Aksai Chin]] (formerly a part of the Indian territory of [[Ladakh]]) and [[South Tibet]] (China) or [[Arunachal Pradesh]] (India) is not settled and plagues Sino-Indian relations. While New Delhi has raised objections to Chinese military-aid to arch-rival [[Pakistan]] and neighboring [[Bangladesh]], Beijing similarly objects to India's growing military collaboration with Japan, Australia and the U.S.<ref>{{cite news|date=23 August 2007|title=Japan courts India to counter China: Analysts|work=[[The Economic Times]]|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/PoliticsNation/Japan_courts_India_to_counter_China_Analysts/articleshow/2305041.cms|url-status=live|access-date=25 August 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090126115232/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/PoliticsNation/Japan_courts_India_to_counter_China_Analysts/articleshow/2305041.cms|archive-date=26 January 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/001200708240333.htm|location=Chennai, India|work=The Hindu|title=Wargame with India not to put China in a closet: US admiral|date=24 August 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102071341/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/001200708240333.htm|archive-date=2 November 2012}}</ref>

Relations between the two countries have deteriorated over the past decade, especially after [[2020–2021 China–India skirmishes|2020–2021 skirmishes]] along the border in the [[Galwan River|Galwan Valley]] involving Indian and Chinese military personnel.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Three Things to Know About China-India Tensions|url=https://www.usip.org/publications/2023/10/three-things-know-about-china-india-tensions|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231020233341/https://www.usip.org/publications/2023/10/three-things-know-about-china-india-tensions|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 October 2023|access-date=26 October 2023|website=United States Institute of Peace}}</ref>
