Even if bilateral trade between India and China goes beyond $100 billion in the coming years, China's posture towards India is adversarial and will perhaps remain so in the future, with Beijing viewing New Delhi through the prism of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile. A rising China, inflexible on boundary dispute resolution and with strong tentacles across South Asia and beyond, could encroach on Indias strategic space and lead to a potential crisis this decade.In April 2013, Indian troops sighted an advance patrol of the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) 19 km deep within Indian territory, a considerable distance from the Line of Actual Control, the de facto border claim line that was drawn up after the 1962 war between the two countries a war that still traumatizes the mind of Indias political and military establishment.Protracted negotiations led to the withdrawal of the Chinese troops, but the incursion laid bare the intent of the worlds largest standing army.
