ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that competitive geo-political goals between the two large partners – India and China – is undermining the geo-economic opportunities likely to arise from sub-regional cooperation among the BCIM countries. However, neither India nor China could reach the growth climax without the help of each other. As a result, India and China need not fear each other, as it is not “India or China but India and China” which would redefine the global economy. It suggests that BCIM-EC should follow the footprints of GMS.
