| Sumario: | Buddhism is being emphasised strongly in both Chinese. - and Indian public diplomacy, as they both seek to increase their softpower. - attractiveness. This article finds that while Buddhism has. - served to draw the two countries together in their bilateral relationship,. - their current invocation of Buddhism as a bridge is in many. - ways an ahistorical reconstruction. The article also finds that Buddhism. - operates as a tool of diplomacy in a competitive way, as China. - and India both seek influence among Buddhist countries elsewhere in. - Asia and among international Buddhist organisations. Finally, this. - article finds that whereas China's use of Buddhism is straightforwardly. - tactical and to a degree disingenuous, India is able to incorporate. - genuine spiritual elements into its use of Buddhism, albeit within a. - setting of Hindu reinterpretation of Buddhism. In the future, China. - could shift from a short-term tactical to a long-term normative use of. - Buddhism within international socialisation scenarios. (GIGA/J Current Ch Affairs) |
