News<\/strong>– Chinese President Xi Jinping is skipping the G20 summit as India hosts world leaders in Delhi.<\/p>\n

How Xi’s absence from the G20 summit in India shows his preference for non-western framework?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mr. Xi has been a consistent attendee of nearly all G20 summits.<\/strong> It provided him with a global platform<\/strong> to promote China’s narrative.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, in recent years, Mr. Xi has become convinced that profound changes<\/strong> not seen in a century are taking place. It signifies America’s diminishing role<\/strong> in the global order. <\/strong><\/p>\n

He is growing more optimistic about China’s rise as a powerful challenger to the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a newfound dynamism <\/strong>in various alliances<\/strong> connected to China or where China plays a leading role.<\/p>\n

A notable contrast can be observed between Mr. Xi’s absence at the Delhi G20 summi<\/strong>t and his presence at the Brics summit in South Africa. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Xi perceives nations joining groupings<\/strong> such as Brics and SCO as a testament to China’s achievements in global affairs. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is leading Mr. Xi believes that China can become a counterbalance,<\/strong> and form a China-led bloc opposed to US dominance. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here, Mr. Xi aims to persuade developing nations that China alone holds the key to the “path of prosperity” after Covid pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Xi has committed to supporting sustainable development in the Global Sout<\/strong>h. He has established a “South-South Cooperation Fund”<\/strong> totaling $4 billion and allocated a $10 billion fund by Chinese financial institutions to implement his Global Development Initiative. <\/strong><\/p>\n

How China’s grand vision clashes with India’s growing advocacy of issues related to the Global South?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During its tenure as the G20 presidency, India extended invitations to 125 nations for the “Voice of Global South” summit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

India has leveraged its G20 presidency to advocate for the acceleration of reforms within global financial institutions . <\/strong><\/p>\n

India is actively working to secure fertiliser and grain supply chains <\/strong>in light of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Under its G20 presidency, India appears to be gaining global acceptance<\/strong>. It is now perceived as a counterbalance to China. <\/strong><\/p>\n

During its G20 presidency, India hosted foreign delegations <\/strong>in regions such as Jammu & Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh.<\/strong> It is a diplomatic achievement. <\/strong><\/p>\n

How Xi’s recent behaviour will impact the broader India-China relations?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As India’s influence grows, the resolution of the border dispute<\/strong> between the two countries may become even more challenging.<\/p>\n

Beijing has escalated tensions<\/strong> by renaming places in Arunachal Pradesh, and issuing stapled visas<\/strong> to its residents, and releasing a map <\/strong>that questions India’s territorial integrity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

China is facing internal challenges,<\/strong> including economic difficulties and rising unemployment. It<\/strong> may lead to increased assertiveness. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Xi is actively working to establish an alternative international framework<\/strong> and is investing more in alliances associated with China<\/strong>. Furthermore, China’s vision is now in competition with India’s outreach to the Global South.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
