Today the world has stopped at COVID-19: envisaging a make or break moment for the world and its people. In this backdrop, the overarching thesis of the book is centred on offering an Indian perspective to COVID-19 and its challenges.

Focusing on historical memories, the book examines how China's perceptions influence its foreign policy towards Japan. It argues that mental shortcuts rooted in the past shape current interpretations and policy behaviors. The author moves beyond traditional realist and liberal theories, which prioritize states' interests and material capabilities, to provide a deeper conceptual understanding of the evolving Sino-Japanese relations in the twenty-first century. This exploration highlights the significant role of historical context in international politics.
