Wooing the dragon: India needs to pull out all the stops to get China to drop objection to NSG membership
Ahead of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) meeting in Seoul later this month, New Delhi is
hoping to convince Beijing to drop its opposition to Indias membership of the nuclear club.
China has repeatedly asserted that NSG membership for non-NPT countries such as India
should be preceded by full discussions. Plus, it has played the Pakistan card to stymie Indias
membership by hinting it cant be seen in isolation as Pakistan too had applied to join NSG
knowing very well this is impossible given Pakistans record as the worlds worst proliferator.
A large developing country like India with an impeccable non-proliferation track record
needs access to nuclear energy and technology to fulfil its development goals and meet its
climate change mitigation targets. In fact, the Marrakech climate summit later this year will
seek to implement the historic Paris Climate Accord. What message does it send for global
climate change mitigation efforts if India is denied full participation in trading in a vital source
of clean energy?
China appears to give Pakistan a veto over every aspect of its India policy. A key foreign policy
for New Delhi must be to get Beijing to change its mindset by highlighting the mutual benefits
that can accrue from enhanced India-China cooperation. Given the size of the Indian market
and available economic opportunities, the Chinese should know that betting on India is far
more profitable than backing an unstable Pakistan. In this regard, over the past month New
Delhi has ensured that most visa categories for Chinese nationals have been removed from the
Prior Referral Category list. Meanwhile, fast-track clearances for two Chinese industrial parks
have been put in place.
A real big-ticket move in this regard could be Indias participation in the Chinese One Belt, One
Road (OBOR) project of transnational connectivity. So far New Delhi has been resistant to the
idea. But Chinese investments would dramatically build up Indian infrastructure. Plus, having

a branch of the OBOR run through central India will diminish the importance of the China-
Pakistan Economic Corridor. The Indian corridor would help strategically delink China from
Pakistan. Its a big enough incentive to change Beijings mindset. But in order to play this card,
the Indian leadership must also set aside the baggage of the 1962 war and work out a new,
mutually beneficial compact with China.
