China’s Particular influence on the Nature of the Kashmir Сrisis

Abstract

The Kashmir crisis has a protracted multi-year character and its relevance in today’s scholarly discourse is characterised by a global confrontation between East and West. Apart from the main actors India and Pakistan, there are a number of stakeholders, the first of which is China. Beijing’s longstanding support to Islamabad has contributed to the latter’s military capabilities. China’s strengthening is also taking place around India’s borders. The authors of the study aim to analyse the current situation, clearly defining the role of the Chinese side in it.
