Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger

India should use Taiwan's help to break into the Sinosphere

Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger

-The Times of India, January 30, 2012

India's 'Look East' policy, which has so far ignored Taiwan, has to start setting its eyes on Taipei. This will help India break into the Sinosphere, "which could soon be (or has already become) the second most important cultural zone after the Anglosphere."

"Taiwan is a friendly country that can not only help India fulfil some of its domestic economic objectives, but also strategic goals vis-a-vis China."

The author, Mr. Ganguly, suggests that "New Delhi could sign a free trade deal with Taipei and invite it to help set up an industrial corridor between, say, Delhi and Kolkata (just as the Japanese are facilitating the Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor)."

Such a partnership will suit the Taiwanese since they will, hence, not find "all their eggs in the Chinese basket."

"It is time to move towards a more robust partnership."
