The pace at which China is picking up regional issues with all its neighbours across Asia is a cause of concern, said former National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon. Addressing an event of the Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS), he said China had little to worry under the present global order and therefore its behaviour made little sense.
“The surprising thing is the pace at which China is moving [on regional issues]. Why this hurry especially when they are in an advantageous position in the world,” he said.
