India and China are strategic rivals. The Indian government has hardened its policies on China in recent years – but how do the Indian people see China? How a public regards key foreign policy issues could give the government space to develop or change policy; conversely, it could limit a democratic government’s options, especially in times of crisis. In this webinar, APARC post-doctoral fellow Aidan Milliff presents groundbreaking research on Indian public attitudes towards China. Examining some 60 years of data on how Indians see China, the research shows clear historical trends in Indian opinion towards China. In recent years, Indian views of China had been souring well before the border crisis of 2020, and before government policy began to harden. Using this rich body of new polling data, this webinar will examine how the government is constrained by, and seeks to shape, its public’s opinion towards China.
