For more analysis on India's taking a seat as a non-permanent member of the UN security council, we're joined on the phone by Professor Su Hao, from China Foreign Affairs University. Thanks very much for joining us Professor Su.

Q1. As one of the largest emerging economies in the world, a member of BRIC and now a non-permanent member of the UN security council, India has become increasingly influential in world politics. How do you view the rise of India?

Q2. The US has publicly voiced support for India becoming a permanent member of the security council. Some say this move is aimed to contain China. What's your comment on that, and, in your view, what is the likelihood of India becoming a permanent member?
