China and South Asia in Xi Jinping's 'New Era'

Abstract

    Since President Xi Jinping assumed power, China has been rising on the political, economic, and diplomatic stage in South Asian geopolitics. Policy experts in China have termed South Asia as the region with the direct link to the rise of China. President Xi Jinping announced a concept known as a 'New Era'. The policy of "keeping a low profile and binding the time" in the period of Deng Xiaoping is different from this policy. The article aims to analyze China’s policy: the main drivers, the domestic factors and how the neighboring South Asian countries shape the Chinese foreign policy behavior will be our focus of attention-in this article.
