New Delhi must also engage with Beijing on talks on strategic stability which could change China's mindset on India’s nuclear status.

  • At the more strategic level, India as an NSG member, assumes the same nuclear status that China has and this is certainly not palatable to a China that refuses to acknowledge India as a nuclear armed nation.

  • While there is no doubt that India has security concerns related toChina, ways of cooperation in the civilian nuclear area can be found.
