Where China Meets India: Burma and the New Crossroads of Asia is an interesting read about a country that is located between two upcoming super powers, namely India and China.
The author of the book looks back in time and observes that India and China have always been walled off from each other. However, in the last few years, with jungles being cut down, this barrier is slowly breaking. This means that the two countries are now exposed to each other. Thant Myint-U says that Myanmar is strategically located. He then describes the country of his ancestry, from political, ethnic, military and trade perspectives. India and Myanmar have a lot of common history, which links them both culturally and educationally. However, India's influence has been decreasing in the last few years, whereas China's has been growing. China hopes to use Myanmar's ports for its own trade. Hence, developing a good and steady relationship with Myanmar is now a high priority. However, the ripple effects of this is sure to alarm India. Though Myanmar has become democratic, its long battle history makes the country insecure. The author says that this impacts every decision that the country makes with regards to India or China
