Synopsis
India and China have a long tradition of exchange in culture and commerce. The two countries are also rivals and competitors in the international political and economic arena.
In a week’s visit, Sundeep Bhutoria paints a composite picture of the main cities, business and cultural centres and heritage sites of China, one of the largest trading partners of India. He takes us on a journey through the Indian food trail and cultural sites in the land of dragons and lanterns. Exploring diplomatic and commercial ties, China Diary gives us an overview of the key facets important to business and general exploration of China as a country—the possibilities, cultural specificity and convergence of economic interests.

‘A book on China that takes an entirely different approach to understanding the nation’s ground reality is always welcome. I believe Sundeep’s travelogue, if I can call it that, would benefit both security analysts, and economists alike. It’s a refreshing read, and helps us understand how the next superpower views itself, the world, and its place in the global order’ H A R D E E P S . P U R I
