Two of the world's giants -- the first and second most populous nations -- share a single continent, but vastly different visions of their region and the world. China and India each have a legitimate claim to hegemony, to leadership, and to a shared or competitive future. Here, Hobbs et al ask a panel of global experts regarding which nation would emerge as Asia's leading power in the future. Yanzhong Huang narrates that while their domestic and foreign policies and practices have enriched the conceptual bases of global governance, China and India fail to provide viable, coherent, and sustainable alternatives to the dominant transnational framework. In short, despite the rapid ascendance of China and India, neither country is ready yet to become the leading global power. Meanwhile, Arvind Gupta stresses that India is better placed than China to face uncertainties. He observes that its democracy, plurality, and large soft power would see it through any race it may have to run. The Chinese dream may turn out to be brittle. Adapted from the source document.
