 Asia Times: BOOK REVIEW Dragon versus peacock
It is only fitting that the end product of his scholarly perseverance and labor, under review, surpasses all existing studies of the mercurial relationship between two of the world's largest, most populated and fastest-growing economies.
The story of the dragon against the peacock has fascinated many a pundit of international relations, but none had managed to cover every single facet of the kaleidoscopic tussle in one compact volume until Garver (Wang Hongwei, Brahma Chellaney, Leo Rose et al have all made instructive but haphazard contributions).
India covets this territory as crucial to the defense of the "Siliguri Neck" and its entire northeast, a region troubled by ethnic separatist movements that were openly supported and encouraged by China between 1962 and 1979.

Worse, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) embarrassed Vajpayee by intruding deep into Arunachal Pradesh and torturing a group of Indian security personnel it had arrested and disarmed even as Vajpayee was in China being feted by the communist leadership and exulting over his visit.
That the PLA's intrusion was premeditated was demonstrated by the official Chinese reaction that was harsh, unpalatable and undiplomatic.
Yet another explanation is that incursions were timed to force India to induct more troops into the region to preempt further Chinese incursions - a move that further lessened the prospect of India acceding to the US request for a division-size force in Iraq.
