PENOLAKAN TIONGKOK TERKAIT PENGAJUAN KEANGGOTAAN INDIA DALAM NUCLEAR SUPPLIERS GROUP (NSG)

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This  research  aims  to explain  why  China  opposes  India’s  membership  in the  Nuclear  Suppliers Group (NSG) by using explanatory qualitative methods. India's desire to become a member of the NSG is based on India's fulfillment of clean energy and gaining international legitimacy as nuclear weapons  countries.  The  submission  of  India  membership  is  supported  by  a  majority  of  NSG members including four countries from the P5 Countries. Although, many countries supported the submission  of  Indian  membership,  China  decided  to  oppose,  which  make  China  the  only  P5

Countries  that  blocks  India's  membership  in  the  NSG.  This  research  uses  the  Neorealism framework to answer the reasons behind China's refusal on India’s membership in the NSG. The research then found the answer that China's rejection was based on China's efforts to protect its survival from threats from other countries while simultaneously  maintaining  a strategic balance in the South Asian region.
