Abstract In the context of Chinas One Belt One Road Initiative to promote building economic corridors with South Asian countries, Indias Modi government propels the BBIN(Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal) initiative. As a tool to enhance regional influence, Indias future policy approach will aim at constructing “BBIN+2”subregionally and linking the BBIN initiative with other projects selectively. Because of the political trust deficit, it is likely that BBIN will be a challenge to Chinas economic corridor initiatives. Geographical contiguity becomes an impetus for China to promote subregional cooperation in the South Asian, but geopolitical factors also have a profound impact on China’s aspiration. In order to promote effective coordination, China needs to make scientific plan in terms of partnership idea and participation path.
